Radio frequency electromagnetic fields: Cancer, mutagenesis, and genotoxicity review

Endpoint

• genotoxicity/mutation: mutagenic effect in prokaryotic cells; DNA-damages (single, double strand breaks) in rat brain cells; chromosomal aberrations
• cell transformation: malignant transformation, tumor promotion
• cancer: leukaemia, brain tumors, acoustic neuroma, Hodgkin's disease, testicular-, thyroid-, liver cancer, uveal melanoma, breast cancer
• epidemiology: health effects, cancer incidences, mortality, odds ratio (see "cancer")
• dosimetry/technology: specific absorption rate (SAR)
• body temperature in mammals
