How Will the National Cancer Institute Update Their Presentations Now That The National Toxicology Program Results Are Out?
“Should we hang up the debate about cell phone and cancer risk?”
Dr. Martha Linet’s Powerpoint Slides on Cell Phones and Cancer Risk Washington University Lecture

On March 22, 2016 Martha Linet, Senior Investigator and former Chief of the Radiation Epidemiology Branch of the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health,  presented at Washington University on cell phones and cancer risk.

“Dr. Martha Linet will discuss the history and results from 20 years of epidemiological studies of cancer risks associated with use of mobile phones, findings from relevant experimental studies, current research on this topic, and conclusions about health risks by national and international organizations. More generally, she will describe complexities and strategies for studying cancer risks associated with rapidly evolving technologies.” Read the Washington University lecture description here.

These slides from Linet’s March 22, 2016 presentation are made available via a public information request. Although Washington University usually videotapes these lectures, we were informed that Linet asked that this lecture not be videotaped. If you attended this lecture we welcome your comments and will post them.
