INTRODUCTION: We explored the association between use of mobile phones and lymphoma risk in a case-control study. METHODS: We conducted unconditional logistic regression analysis in 322 lymphoma cases and 446 population controls, adjusting by age, gender and education. RESULTS: Risk of lymphoma (all types; OR = 1.5; 95% CI 1.0 - 2.1), and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (OR = 1.8; 95% CI 1.0 - 3.4) was elevated in subjects reporting use of mobile phones, but it decreased with duration of use, and years from first purchase. CONCLUSIONS: Our contradictory findings would not support the aetiological nature of the observed associations.
