Berlin - A German study released yesterday said there was a link between cancer of the inner eye and the use of cell phones, but critics said the finding was based on flawed research techniques.
Mr Andreas Stang, one of the study's authors from the Essen University Clinic, said 118 patients with a type of eye cancer called uveal melanoma had used cellular phones and other equipment deploying radio waves more often than 475 healthy patients. Scientists have disagreed whether there is a link between cancer and cell phone usage.
