You could recall that the issue of effect of radiation of metal object like handset to human body has been talked on for a long time but most people take it as a joke.

A molecular discovery could explain why some cases of breast cancer do not respond to radiation therapy. It could also lead to additional treatments that improve the response in those cases.

The researchers found that when levels of a tumor suppressor protein called phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) were low in a type of breast tissue called stroma, it increased the likelihood that exposure to radiation would trigger tumor growth.

They also found that blocking another molecule called epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) might be a way to reduce the risk.
The authors suggest that specialists might be able to use levels of PTEN in breast stroma as a biomarker to predict which breast cancers are most likely to respond to radiation treatment...
