A Systematic Review on the In Vivo Studies on Radiofrequency (100 kHz-300 GHz) Electromagnetic Field Exposure and Co-Carcinogenesis.

ABSTRACT: In this systematic review, the potential role of in vivo RF-EMF exposure combined with the administration of well-known carcinogens in tumor promotion/progression is assessed. A total of 25 papers were included in the review. Each paper was assessed for Risk of Bias and for the attribution of the quality category. A meta-analysis was conducted on 18 studies, analyzing data for nine different organs/tumors to assess the potential increased risk for the onset of tumors as well as the effects on survival. A descriptive review was performed for the remaining seven eligible papers. In most cases, the results of the meta-analysis did not reveal a statistically significant difference in tumor onset between the sham and co-exposed samples. There was a numerically small increase in the risk of mali
