Title right from the headline itself: This looks like a legitimate article...I've yet to find that AJE article to verify it yet.

Regular use of mobile telephones increases the risk of developing tumours, a new scientific study by Israeli researchers and published in the American Journal of Epidemiology revealed on Friday.

The American Journal of Epidemiology seems to be legit, although I haven't seen their standards nor their peer review process, if any. I also note that they publish opinion, which might, or not, mean something. I too, have not found the paper and don't have time to dig for it right now. I'll look again later.

I recall that, some years ago, there was a to-do over this same subject that didn't last long due to a lack of supporting evidence.

Here's a link to a PDF of what may be the right paper.

No, that's a Danish paper from 2003.
