In the Original Contribution entitled "Handheld
Cellular Telephone Use and Risk of Brain Cancer" published in the
December 20, 2000, issue of THE JOURNAL
(2000;284:3001-3007), a hospital was identified incorrectly, incorrect
statistics appeared in the "Methods" section, and rounding errors
appeared in 2 of the tables. On page 3001, Dr Neugut's affiliation
should have read "Department of Medicine, Mailman School of Public
Health, Columbia University, New York, NY." On page 3002, the first
sentence in the "Methods" section should have read "New York
Presbyterian Hospital" not "Columbia University Presbyterian
Hospital." Also on page 3002, the second to last sentence in the
second column should have been "In the first 2 years of the study,
100 of the case interviews (21%) and 22 of the control interviews
(5%) were conducted with proxies." Also on page 3003, in
Table 2, the corresponding values for "Musculoskeletal disorder" should have
been "71 (23.9)." On page 3005, in
Table 4, the corresponding values for "No. (%) Who Ever Used a Cellular
Telephone" for "Cerebrum (not lobes)" should have been "36
(5.6)."
