The Italian Supreme Court in Rome has ruled that a 60 year old man’s tumor is the result of excessive cellphone use.

As a result of this ruling experts have predicted a flood of legal actions from other victims.
Since the precedent has been set in Italy it is likely that lawsuits will fare better inside the country, but as more cases are successful the trend is predicted to spread to the rest of the EU and the United States.
Innocente Marcolini is an Italian businessman who became sick after using a mobile phone at work for up to six hours every day for 12 years.
Mr Marcolini has a tumor in the trigeminal nerve which is close to where the phone touched his head.
It is non-cancerous but still threatened to kill him because it spread to the carotid artery, the major vessel carrying blood to his brain.
The tumor has also left his face paralyzed and he now takes daily morphine for pain.  He said that his lawsuit was not about money or revenge, but to spread awareness about the dangers of excessive mobile phone use.

Mr. Marcolini told The Independent that:

“This is significant for very many people. I wanted this problem to become public because many people still do not know the risks.
I was on the phone, usually the mobile, for at least five or six hours every day at work.  I wanted it recognized that there was a link between my illness and the use of mobile and cordless phones.  Parents need to know their children are at risk of this illness.”
Respected oncologist and professor of environmental mutagenesis Angelo Gino Levis gave evidence for Mr Marcolini, along with neurosurgeon Dr Giuseppe Grasso.

Prof Levis told The Sun that:

“The court decision is extremely important. It finally officially recognizes the link.  It’ll open not a road but a motorway to legal actions by victims. We’re considering a class action.
Tumors due to radiation may not appear for 15 years, so three to five-year studies don’t find them.  We’ll only realize in years to come the damage phones can cause children.”

This ruling comes just a year after the World Health Organization reluctantly admitted that there is a link between cell phone use and cancer.
