Most of us are aware that overuse of cell phones can cause health problems such as a stiff neck, eye strain, disrupted sleep, and an increased risk of automobile accidents. But one question that is yet to find a clear answer is whether these devices can also lead to brain cancer.

The paper was published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health on May 2.
