They were compared to a control group of 1,266 people.The study discovered that using mobile phones frequently for five years may increase the chances of getting mouth tumor by about 50 percent as compared with people who had never used the mobile phone.The scientists said that the majority of people who used mobile phones were more expected to get parotid gland tumors.The parotid is largest salivary glands located in front of the ear.
