"the chance that a person will develop a malignant tumor of the brain or spinal cord in their lifetime is less than 1%." https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/bra

  1% of the population of the US is about 3million people. A 60% increase means an additional 1.8 million brain or spinal cord tumors. Now multiply that by about 10 to cover the global urban population. If some of the findings are real the impacts might be even worse in rural areas where network is more spotty so phones are more likely to increase intensity of radiation.

    Unless I'm mistaken, it's not 1% of the American population that has brain cancer. It's that each individual has less than a 1% chance of developing brain cancer. So, if this figure of less than 1% is in fact on the order of 0.5%, a 60% increase in this figure would take it to 0.8%. "In 2023, an estimated 24,810 adults (14,280 men and 10,530 women) in the United States will be diagnosed with primary cancerous tumors of the brain and spinal cord." https://www.cancer.net/cancer-types/brain-tumor/statistics#:~:text=1% https://www.cancer.net/cancer-types/brain-tumor/statistics#:... 24810 is 0.0074751431153962% of 331900000 60% more than 0.0074751431153962 is 0.01196022898463392
