128Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the NationalCancer InstituteThe National Cancer Institute (NCI) actively follows cancer statistics in the UnitedStates to detect any change in rates of new cases for brain cancer. If cell phonesplay a role in risk for brain cancer, rates should go up, because heavy cell phoneuse has been common for quite some time in the U.S. Between 1987 and 2005, theoverall age-adjusted incidence of brain cancer did not increase. Additionalinformation about SEER can be found at http://seer.cancer.gov/.Cell Phone Industry ActionsAlthough the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, the FDAhas urged the cell phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:• Support-needed research on possible biological effects of RF for the type of signal emittedby cell phones;• Design cell phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user; and• Cooperate in providing users of cell phones with the current information on cell phone useand human health concerns.The FDA also is working with voluntary standard-setting bodies such as the Instituteof Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and others to assure that safety standardscontinue to adequately protect the public.Reducing Exposure: Hands-Free Kits and Other AccessoriesSteps to Reduce Exposure to Radio Frequency EnergyIf there is a risk from being exposed to radio frequency energy (RF) fromcell phones - and at this point we do not know that there is - it is probablyvery small. But, if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, youcan take a few simple steps to minimize your RF exposure.• Reduce the amount of time spent using your cell phone;• Use speaker mode or a headset to place more distance between your head andthe cell phone.
