Description
Highlights: • Carcinogenicity of radio frequency radiation (RFR) was examined. • The focus was on hemolymphatic cancers in the occupational and military settings. • Unusually high proportion of hemolymphatic cancers was found in a case series. • Similar unusually high proportions were reported in three previous cohort studies. • The findings support a case for classifying RFR as a human carcinogen. We reexamine whether radio frequency radiation (RFR) in the occupational and military settings is a human carcinogen.
