Health Issue: Childhood cancers might cellphone masts....

'No link between cancer in kids & cellphone towers'       British scientists who conducted the largest study yet into cellphone masts and childhood cancers sy that living close to a mast does not increase the risk of a pregnant woman's body developing cancer.       In a study looking at almost 7,000 children and patterns of early childhood cancers across Britain, the researchers found that those who developed cancer before the age of five were no more likely to have been born close to a mast than their peers.       "These results are reassuring," said Paul Elliot, director of the centre for environment and health at Imperial College Londaon, who worked on the study. "We found no pattern to suggest that the children of mums living near a base station during pregnancy had a greater risk of developing cancer than those who lived eosewhere."         Use of cellphones has increased dramatically in recent years and questions have been raised about possible health effects. The authors cautioned they were unable to get information about individual exposure among molthers-to-be to a cell phone handset.
