The sample size is far too low to draw any conclusions. Only a small handful of rats in each group got tumors. The authors must know this! They got a p-value <0.05 for just one of the numbers, the male rats at 50 V/m, 1.4% incidence of Schwannomas. The entire group (both female and male) was only at 1.2% and this was not considered statistically significant. By the way, the one-tenth-dose group (5 V/m) had fully 1.5% incidence of Schwannomas.
And yet the conclusion claims "These experimental studies provide sufficient evidence to call for the re-evaluation of IARC conclusions regarding the carcinogenic potential of RFR in humans." I have no words.
