Having come into widespread use in Europe during the 1980s and the United States in the 1990s, not enough time has passed for long-term studies to mean much. To date, studies taken as a whole have yielded inconsistent results. When one indicates a slight elevation in risk, another comes along and finds no association. An excellent summary of the work to date done on the topic can be found at Cancer.gov.
Thirteen countries participated in an intensive study (The Interphone Study) coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. When the final analysis is complete, this should the most far-reaching research done to date.
