I had to look this up because it was so crazy and interesting - but sadly (er, well, you know what I mean), the link between microwave radiation and cancer is questionable both biologically and historically. The historical evidence (mortality/morbidity of employees at the Moscow Embassy vs. other Eastern European embassies, or comparisons based on how long employees spent in Moscow, or comparisons based on estimated exposure to the microwave radiation) suggests no adverse affects from radiation.[1] And in general the idea that microwave radiation (emitted by cell phones/towers, wifi, etc.) causes cancer is not supported by the evidence.
