Incidence: The rate of “new cancers diagnosed” in a given period of time. Blinded Study: Researchers are prevented from knowning certain information that might lead to conscious or unconscious bias that could invalidate results.
SAR: Speci c Absorption Rate, a measure of how much the body is absorbing Electro Magnetric Frequencies (EMF) Meta-Analysis: A study of studies, or a pooling of data from many studies from di erent researchers on the same topic.
