Key Points

• There is no link between mobile phone use and brain and head cancers - that's according to a new Australian-led systematic review - commissioned by the World Health Organization.
• Australian-led research - carried out by a panel of 11 experts from 10 countries looked into more than 5,000 global studies conducted between 1994 and 2022.
• The researchers say the study provides the strongest evidence to date that radio waves from wireless technologies are not harmful to humans.
