Protocol for a systematic review of the in vivo studies on radiofrequency (100 kHz-300 GHz) electromagnetic field exposure and cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An Italian project aims to review the scientific literature on the possible carcinogenicity of radiofrequency (100 kHz-300 GHz) electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure. The ENEA team has to carry out a systematic review of the in vivo studies on this topic.

Objectives

Development of a protocol for a systematic review (meta-analysis included) to investigate the potential carcinogenic risk following RF-EMF in vivo exposure to doses above or within legal limits. The aims of this review are (1) to provide a descriptive and, if possible, a quantitative summary of the results of the examined RF-EMF in vivo studies, together with an assessment of the consistency of observations and of the causes of heterogeneity, and (2) to assess the weight of evidence to support or ref
