If users of cell phones are less likely to get cancer, this means that the microwaves HAVE an effect. If this effect exists, then it MUST be investigated.

Clearly, the potential effect is not related with heat disipation, 1W is small compared with the energy gains due to solar radiation impinging in the head in summer.

The potentially dangerous effect is related with the interaction of the microwaves with the complex biochemistry in the brain. And this is not known yet.

We have plenty of examples of possible hazards to public health that were underestimated and then they become a problem.

Serious, independent research must be carried out. It must be payed by public institutions, not by manufactures of cell phones or wireless devices. The results must be published in serious, peer-reviewed journals.
