Last week, three prominent neurosurgeons told the CNN interviewer
Larry King that they did not hold cellphones next to their ears. "I
think the safe practice," said Dr. Keith Black, a surgeon at
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, "is to use an earpiece so
you keep the microwave antenna away from your brain."
Dr. Vini Khurana, an associate professor of neurosurgery at the
Australian National University who is an outspoken critic of
cellphones, said: "I use it on the speaker-phone mode. I do not hold
it to my ear." And CNN's chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay
Gupta, a neurosurgeon at Emory University Hospital, said that like
Dr. Black he used an earpiece.

the doctors' remarks have helped reignite a long-simmering debate
about cellphones and cancer.
