We analysed the association between mobile phone use and the anatomical distribution of glial brain tumours in Irish neurosurgical patients. All patients with unilateral histologically proven glioma were enrolled over a 12 month period. We hypothesised that were a cellular phone to cause a glioma then it would do so on the dominant hand side. Fifty mobile phone users and twenty three non-users were identified. The vast majority of patients (69/73) were right handed and the right side of the brain was more common as the tumour site (48/73). Fisher's exact test revealed no statistical significance for glioma location based on the handedness of the patient in the mobile phone user group and location of the tumour in both user and non-user groups. We discuss our findings and the stable trend in the incidence of reported glioma cases.
我们分析了爱尔兰神经外科患者中手机使用与胶质脑瘤解剖分布之间的关联。在12个月期间纳入了所有经组织学证实为单侧胶质瘤的患者。我们假设，如果手机会导致胶质瘤，那么它会在优势手一侧引发。确定了50名手机使用者和23名非使用者。绝大多数患者（69/73）为右利手，且肿瘤部位更常见于右侧大脑（48/73）。费舍尔精确检验显示，基于手机使用者组中患者的利手情况以及使用者和非使用者组中肿瘤的位置，胶质瘤位置无统计学意义。我们讨论了我们的研究结果以及报告的胶质瘤病例发病率的稳定趋势。
