Quinn T. Ostrom,Luc Bauchet,Faith G. Davis,Isabelle Deltour,James L. Fisher,Chelsea Eastman Langer,Melike Pekmezci,Judith A. Schwartzbaum,Michelle C. Turner,Kyle M. Walsh,Margaret Wrensch,Jill S. Barnholtz-Sloan +11 more
TL;DR: A “state of the science” review of current research into causes and risk factors for gliomas in adults is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary brain tumours in adults.
TL;DR: Progress in genomics has defined a new era in neuro-oncology and holds promise for diagntic and therapeutic improvement, and combination therapies seem to be required to achieve a broad and durable antitumour response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global cancer patterns: causes and prevention
Paolo Vineis,Christopher P. Wild +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that primary prevention is a particularly effective way to fight cancer, with between a third and a half of cancers being preventable on the basis of present knowledge of risk factors.
Book ChapterDOI
Epidemiology of Gliomas
TL;DR: An overview of the current state of research in the epidemiology of intracranial glioma is provided, which includes increased risk due to exposure to ionizing radiation, and decreased risk with history of allergy or atopic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon materials and their composites for electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness in X-band
Shivam Gupta,Nyan-Hwa Tai +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis and EMI shielding performances of carbon-based materials in X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz) have been reviewed and their shielding mechanisms are discussed.

Brain tumour risk in relation to mobile telephone use: results of the INTERPHONE international case-control study
TL;DR: There were suggestions of an increased risk of glioma at the highest exposure levels, but biases and error prevent a causal interpretation, and the possible effects of long-term heavy use of mobile phones require further investigation.

Cellular-Telephone Use and Brain Tumors

TL;DR: Data do not support the hypothesis that the recent use of hand-held cellular telephones causes brain tumors, but they are not sufficient to evaluate the risks among long-term, heavy users and for potentially long induction periods.

Lymphomas in Eμ-Pim1 Transgenic Mice Exposed to Pulsed 900 MHz Electromagnetic Fields
TL;DR: Long-term intermittent exposure to RF fields can enhance the probability that mice carrying a lymphomagenic oncogene will develop lymphomas, and it is suggested that such genetically cancer-prone mice provide an experimental system for more detailed assessment of dose-response relationships for risk of cancer after RF-field exposure.

Handheld Cellular Telephone Use and Risk of Brain Cancer
Joshua E. Muscat,Mark G. Malkin,Seth Thompson,Roy E. Shore,Steven D. Stellman,Don McRee,Alfred I. Neugut,Ernst L. Wynder +7 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that use of handheld cellular telephones is not associated with risk of brain cancer, but further studies are needed to account for longer induction periods, especially for slow-growing tumors with neuronal features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain tumors and salivary gland cancers among cellular telephone users.
TL;DR: A register-based approach has limited value in risk assessment of cellular phone use owing to lack of information on exposure, but there was a weak association between gliomas and analog cellular phones.
