使用手机是否会引发脑癌?
Can using your cell phone give you brain cancer? We posed that question to Mary McBride, a senior scientist with the British Columbia Cancer Agency.
使用手机会引发脑癌吗？我们向不列颠哥伦比亚癌症研究中心的资深科学家玛丽．迈克布莱德提出了这个问题。
Mary McBride: We don’t exactly know. We’re reassured that for the casual user, there is no conclusive evidence that cell phones do cause cancer. We still do not know about heavy users, long-term users, or children as users.
玛丽．迈克布莱德：我们还没有准确结论。可以放心的是，普通用户并不会有用手机患脑癌的风险。但对于重度用户，长期用户及儿童，我们还没有确定的结论。
Dr. McBride is a co-investigator of the largest study of its kind that looked at the risk of cancer from cell phone use by adults. The decade-long study, released in May of 2010, tracked the cell phone use and incidence of brain tumors of about 13,000 people over 13 countries.
作为研究员之一迈克布莱德博士，她参与的关于使用手机是否会引发脑癌的研究是目前同类研究中规模最大的。这项研究历时10年，调查了超过13个国家的13000手机用户，追踪手机使用对脑肿瘤的影响，研究结果发表于2010年5月。
Mary McBride: What we have found is that there doesn’t appear to be any large risk of brain tumors from cell phone use. And there doesn’t seem to be any short-term risk from cell phones. And again, given that we know that there’s some uncertainty in our calculations.
玛丽．迈克布莱德: 我们发现使用手机引发患脑肿瘤的风险不大。使用手机也不存在任何短期的风险。再次重申的是，结论的前提是我们的计算中仍有一些不确定性。
In other words, there was no smoking gun found that links moderate cell phone use, defined in the study as under a half hour a day, with brain cancer. However, the study was less conclusive about heavier use of cell phones, said McBride.
换言之，对于适当使用手机（研究中指使用时间一天不超过半小时）的用户，没有确凿证据可证明使用手机和患脑癌之间存在关系。但是迈克布莱德博士说，对那些重度使用者，我们就不能得出这么肯定的结论了。
