Studies of carcinogenicity in mice exposed at least two years to RFR.

Strain, Species, (Sex) Duration Reference RFR Exposure Level: Frequencies Intensities (Any Other Co-Exposure) Exposure time No. of Animals Increased Tumor Incidence (Significance)
B6C3F1 mice (M, F) Tillmann et al., (2007) 902 MHz (GSM) 1747 MHz (DCS) 0.4, 1.3, 4.0 W/Kg 2 h/day, 5 days/week 50/sex/group Not any increased tumor incidence (NS)
