"Can" and "possibly" are dead giveaways to a study that was either improperly done or completely inconclusive.
Cell phone addicts have been with us for a relatively short time. We won't have the epidemiological data on increased cancer rates for another 20 years or so. We might find them as benign as AM and FM radio waves from a tower 20 miles away. We might find they cause brain cancer after 5 yeas of heavy use. The weasel word is "might." We just don't know now.
