Abstract

The Strategic Health and Environment Plan 2022-2026 (PESMA), approved in November 2021 by the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System, and its 1st Action Program (2022-2023), include One of its lines of intervention is the description of the incidence rates of brain tumors due to their theoretical association with exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields used in telecommunications (mobile phones, telephone antennas, Wi-Fi, etc.).

The types of tumors that PESMA and the scientific literature have associated with radiofrequencies (mobile phone use) are gliomas, glioblastomas, meningiomas and acoustic neuromas and other tumors of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Monitoring the trends of these rates is an indirect indicator that allows us to assess whether there is any association with the use of and exposure to telecommunications technologies.
