Cell phone radiation increases risk of brain cancer or heart tumors, but not dramatically, a study on rats shows. The research was conducted by the Health Department’s National Toxicology Program (NTP).

The researchers found 11 of 550 male rats developed brain cancer tumors after long-term exposure to the cell phone radiation most common in the United States (GSM or CDMA).
