Its different when your grandparents are in their late 30's, early 40's. Modern reproductive ages are much, much later than they have been both historically and prehistorically.
Grandparents 600-4k years ago would have been in their late thirties, mid forties for all but a very few. Still unlikely to generate significant selection pressure considering that the vast majority of cancers are late in life.
