Phonegate Alert notes with the utmost attention the publication on March 3, 2025 of a study by Santé Publique France (SPF) on the incidence of cancers in adolescents and young adults (AYA) aged 15 to 39. This report reveals a worrying increase in glioblastoma (serious brain cancer) in this age group, with a significant rise of +6.11% per year over the period studied (2000-2020). This represents an overall increase of around 233% over 20 years!

Glioblastoma: Red alert among young people

This increase is particularly alarming, as it contrasts with trends observed for other types of cancer. While the overall incidence of cancers in the AYA population has seen an increase followed by stabilization (or even a slight decrease), the continuing rise in glioblastomas stands out. With regard to central nervous system (CNS) tumours in general, the study also highlights the need to interpret the data with caution due to various potential biases, but the specific increase in glioblastomas remains a major cause for concern.

The trend is accelerating: alarming!

In a report published in 2018, Santé Publique France noted a 4-fold increase in the number of glioblastomas in 30 years (i.e. a 300% increase over the period 1990-2018). Although a direct comparison is tricky, a cautious extrapolation of the increase in the AYA population over 30 years suggests that the trend may have accelerated further.

As SPF explains in this new report:

“…the increase in glioblastomas (+ 6.11% per year in this study) has already been observed in the report on the evolution of incidence between 1990 and 2018 [25] in which the incidence of histologically confirmed glioblastomas increased by + 3.6% per year in men and + 3.3% per year in women (all ages combined).”

Phonegate Alert once again sounds the alarm

This new study confirms the warnings that our NGO is constantly sounding concerning the potential risks associated with exposure to electromagnetic waves, particularly those emitted by cell phones.

“This study highlights the correlation in time between the massive use of smartphones by young people and the corresponding increase in glioblastomas. It also validates the alerts issued during the Phonegate scandal, which revealed overexposure to cell phone radiation during this period and even today,” says Dr. Marc Arazi, President of Phonegate Alert. He points to the responsibility of the public authorities and, above all, that of the cell phone industry.”

Glioblastoma: exposure to radio frequencies identified as a risk factor

The new SPF report again highlights, among known or suspected risk factors:

“ethnic origin, gender, family history of gliomas, genetic diseases, radiation or environmental exposures (particularly pesticides and electromagnetic fields), and medical imaging examinations delivering ionizing radiation [26-29].”

It’s time to act: our demands

Phonegate Alert insists on the need not to ignore this alarm signal and urges the health authorities to:

• Strengthen independent research into the potential links between exposure to electromagnetic radiation and the development of glioblastoma in young adults and in the general population.
• Better inform the public, and young people in particular, about the potential health risks (infertility, brain and central nervous system tumors) associated with the excessive and careless use of cell phones and other wave-emitting devices.
• Immediately apply the precautionary principle to exposure to electromagnetic radiation, in particular by limiting exposure of children and adolescents.

Protect yourself: simple gestures

Phonegate Alert reminds us that simple, cost-free measures can be put in place to reduce exposure to waves from our smartphones, such as:

• Use the speakerphone and hands-free kit.
• Keep your phone away from your head and body at all times.
• Avoid using the phone in areas where reception is poor.

Additional Protect yourself gestures

The most important way to protect yourself is to remediate the EMFs coming from your phone and the best technology with the most scientific proof (on human cells) comes from EMF Solutions. Here’s what we recommend:

Most Cell Phones –> Use one “Cell Chip“

iPhones 12 thru 16+ –> Use one “iCell Chip“

Google Pixel phones –> Use TWO “Cell Chips“
