It depends on where the tuna was caught, alot of the fish today has small amounts of cancers in them because the waters are completely contaminated with cancer causing agents. If you are concerned you can always have the fish tested or just stop eating it.

probably not, but ive heard that it contains mecury, if the fish have been in seas near china, as they flush these into the sea and the fish ingest them, ive heard the amounts are tiny, but can cause neurological problems, they recommend pregnant woman shouldnt eat tuna due to this, could be a myth but worth looking at the research.

What about mercury in canned tuna?
The two most popular types of canned tuna – white and light – vary greatly in their average mercury content. Canned white tuna consists of albacore, a large species of tuna that accumulates moderate amounts of mercury. Consequently, Environmental Defense recommends that adults and children limit their consumption of canned white tuna.
Canned light tuna usually consists of skipjack, a smaller species with approximately one-third the mercury levels of albacore. Therefore, Environmental Defense only recommends that young children (ages 0-6) limit their consumption of canned light tuna. However, recent news reports suggest that some canned light tuna actually contains yellowfin tuna, a species that is similar in size and mercury content to albacore. These products are sometimes (but not always) labeled ‘gourmet’ or ‘tonno’, and their consumption should be limited by adults and children. Overall, it’s best to exercise caution in how much tuna you (or especially your children) consume.

it's not you eating tuna, it's what the tuna ate, if it contained mercury. but most canneries take safety measures to prevent that. just don't eat too much.
