"Article Date: 17 Dec 2010 Liver Cancer In Cirrhotic Patients Effectively Treated With Radiofrequency Ablation Researchers from Italy determined that radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe and effective therapy for managing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhotic patients.

"Article Date: 24 Dec 2010 Study Reveals Many Cancer Cells Have An 'Eat Me' Signal Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that many cancer cells carry the seeds of their own destruction - a protein on the cell surface that signals circulating immune cells to engulf and digest them. On cancer cells, this "eat me" signal is counteracted by a separate "don't eat me" signal that was described in an earlier study. The two discoveries may lead to better cancer therapies, and also solve a mystery about why a previously reported cancer therapy is not more toxic..." |

I myself have a cell phone, but I don't spend much time on it. I assume this risk applies to those who make very heavy use of cell phones to the exclusion of other methods of communication such as land phone lines? Maybe its safer to have both a cell phone for short term use outside the home and a land phone for use at home for longer conversations? Or perhaps to use them for texting as that keeps the phones away from the head area?
