Questions about human health should be addressed by federal agencies with appropriate expertise in medicine, biology, epidemiology, and public health, and the experiences of individuals and families who report being affected should be considered alongside the scientific evidence.\n\nI urge HHS to carefully evaluate these experiences and the scientific evidence, identify gaps in current research, give particular attention to children and other potentially vulnerable populations, and establish appropriate federal research priorities regarding wireless radiation and public health.\n\nThank you for providing individuals and families with an opportunity to be heard.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4006","tags":["cancer-tumors","child-development","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"95429ba7fc812ffdfe790d59fbd6fc0d29597dfd2d99edb7081153d744535f91","slug":"cancer-tumors-comment-4006","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-4006","body_sha256":"f0f1585064f83023d85a7da1a4427114576d4964c21392c66c556c11cd3270c7","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"cancer","topics":[{"id":"cancer","evidence":"erned parent. \n\nMy beautiful son William was diagnosed with brain cancer in February of 2025.
