Overview
- Anses’ updated synthesis released on November 26 concludes current data do not establish a causal relationship between radiofrequency exposure from phones and cancer.
- The review selected 250 robust epidemiological and toxicological studies from roughly 1,000 new publications since prior assessments in 2013 and 2016.
- Laboratory work notes transient cellular changes that reverse after exposure stops, and animal evidence remains limited, offering no coherent cancer mechanism in humans.
- The agency reiterates precautionary advice, especially for children, recommending speakerphone or hands‑free use and calls in good reception to reduce exposure.
- Anses urges continued surveillance through generalized cancer registries and long‑term cohorts such as COSMOS, and it will report on adolescent social‑network effects in January.
