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

ABSTRACT: The increasing exposure of the human population to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields has increased concern about its possible health effects. The aim of this systematic review is to provide an update of the state of the research on this topic, through a quantitative analysis, to assess the increased risk of tumor incidence in laboratory animals (rodents) without limitations of species, strain, sex or genotype. The review was conducted according to the PRISMA guideline and individual studies were assessed by referring to the OHAT Risk of Bias Rating Tool for Human and Animal Studies. A total of 27 studies were considered eligible for the evaluation of tumor incidence; a meta-analysis was carried out on 23 studies to assess the possible increased risk of both malignant and benign tumors
