I thought microwaves weren't high enough in the spectrum to disrupt DNA which is the main cause of cancer risk for gamma/x-ray? Individual waves don't have the energy to break bonds even for relatively high power transmitters, at least that's what I've been told.
I'm not a comms engineer but I've also been told the biggest risk microwave exposure is thermal burns. Especially to the eyes which have limited cooling ability and pain receptors
