Cancer occurs when certain cells grow out of control and spread through the body. Damage to the genetic material, including DNA, may cause cancer cells to develop. High-energy radiation, such as X-rays can cause this damage and may lead to cancer over time. Although microwave ovens use radiation to heat food, healthcare professionals do not consider them a cancer risk. This is because, Microwave ovens use a low-energy type of radiation called radiofrequency (RF).
