Table 3.

Studies of carcinogenicity in other models 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)
E mu-Pim1 mice (lymphoma-prone) (M, F) 24 months Utteridge et al. (2002) 898.4 MHz GSM 0.25, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 W/kg 1 h/day, 5 days/week 120/sex/group Not any increased tumor incidence (NS)
E mu-Pim1 mice (lymphoma-prone) (M, F) 18 months Oberto et al. (2007) 900 MHz pulse modulated 0.5, 1.4, 4.0 W/kg 1 h/day, 7 days/week 50/sex/group Not any increased tumor incidence (NS)
E mu-Pim1 mice (lymphoma-prone) (F) 18 months Repacholi et al. (1997) 900 MHz GSM 0.008–4.2 W/kg, averaging 0.13–1.4 W/kg 1 h/day, 7 days/week 100/group ẞ-cell lymphoma (p < 0.01)
C3H/HeA (breast cancer-prone) and Balb/c mice 12 months (M, F) Szmigielski et al. (1982) 2450 MHz 50, 150 W/m2 Balb/c mice also treated with 3, 4-benzopyrene (BP) 2 h/day, 6 days/week NR Acceleration of breast tumor developed in C3H/HeA mice Acceleration of BP-induced skin cancer in Balb/c mice (p < 0.05)
