Leif's message below brings to my mind the following study, which I
mentioned in my paper "Melatonin, Tamoxifen, 50-60 Hertz Electromagnetic
Fields and Breast Cancer: A Discussion Paper", August 1997, which is
available on my home page:
I also have available John Holt's paper in hard copy. If there is enough
interest I can have it put on disk to send out on e-mail.

"Although this paper only deals with powerline EMFs, electromagnetic
radiation (EMR) from radiofrequency and microwave emissions are also now
being implicated in breast cancer. Besides some epidemiological studies,
such as one showing a significant increase in breast cancer for female
radio operators, there is evidence that breast cancer tumors absorb
significantly more EMR than other cancers, or healthy tissue. To quote
from one study, conducted at Duke University, North Carolina, USA, in 1993.
"In general, at all frequencies tested [50 to 900 MHz], both conductivity
and relative permittivity were greater in malignant tissue than in normal
tissue of the same type. For tissues of the same type, the
differences in electrical properties from normal to malignant were least
for kidney ( about 6% and 4% average differences over the frequency range
in permittivity and conductivity, respectively), and these differences were
the greatest for mammary gland (about 233% and 577% average differences in
permittivity and conductivity, respectively ) (27)
The ability of breast cancer tumors to absorb significantly more EMR than
normal tissue should be of concern when compared to an official joint
statement, made in the Information sheet, Safety of Mobile Phones and
Towers - The Answers (Nov.1995) by the Australian Radiation Laboratory,
Spectrum Management Agency, Austel and the Commonwealth Science and
Industrial Research Organisation, (under the heading, Is Cancer an issue?)
"There is yet insufficient scientific knowledge of many aspects of health
effects of radio waves. One common question is: Do radio waves from mobile
phones increase the risks of cancer? The answer is that there is no
experimental evidence that radio waves directly cause cancer. Laboratory
studies on animals suggest that where cancer exists, radio waves
may accelerate its growth."
For this reason, acting under the Precautionaly Principal as mentioned
prevously, one should also consider radiofrequency and microwave exposures
as a possible risk factor to be avoided [for breast cancer patients]."
