It's a good idea to stay at least an arm's length away from the front of any microwave while it is running. The older the appliance the more likely that the seals around the door are leaking. But the kind of radiation has a very limited reach, so an arm's length is all that is necessary to be safe. The main target are the reproductive organs, but it's just a generally good practice.
Another factor is the impact of microwaves on plastic. Specifically, there are some studies that show that microwaves cause plastic wrap to leach carcinogens into the food they cover. In general, it's just a good idea to cook food in glass containers.

The thermal heating effect of microwaves is well understood and is the basis for the heating action of microwave ovens. Some studies have examined the possibility of a link between microwave exposure and cancer. Results to date have been inconclusive. While some experimental data have suggested a possible link between microwave exposure and cancer, other studies have been unable to replicate these findings. In fact other studies have failed to find evidence for a causal link to cancer or any related condition. For more information about bioeffects of microwaves and radiofrequency energy see the Federal Communications Commission. Modern day microwave ovens are regulated as radiation-emitting electronic products by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the Health and Human Services Administration. The allowable leakage level (5 milliwatts per square centimeter at two-inches distance) for microwaves outside commercial microwave ovens is set at a low level generally believed to be safe for human exposure. -

We are analyzing by parts and with the cool head not to be alarmist.
1) the microwaves destroy and alter more of 90 % of the nutrients that you contain foods. That of entrance is very bad, since we would eat only starches and the nutricional contribution would be almost null.
2) the alteration of the macronutrient: proteins, fats and carbohydrates, also are bad, since a protein or altered fat appropriately is not processed by the liver since this organ does not know them and with it we caused weave inflammation in our organism and generated toxins or remainders also not known.
3) If the accumulation in our weaves of those remainders or toxins is very frequent, prolonged or continuous we have then cellular DNA alteration.
4) If the altered cells correctly are not eliminated by our body (immunological system), we will have precancerous cells.
5) deficient an immunological system and a bad feeding with excess of rich animal foods greasy and that contain great amounts of gluten give origin to malignant tumors.
Another indirect risk when using microwaves is that if we put the hands when the microwaves are even circulating around the interior of the furnace, we produce alterations in the DNA, that is to say, we arrived more quickly at the point 3, that by the altered food consumption.
My final conclusion is: - the use of microwaves and the foods warmed up in this one, produce cancer? Yes, under certain circumstances, and in very variable times depending on the answer of our immunological system.

Possibly, however the level of radiation needed for cellular genetic mutation would probably need to be at such a level as to have a high chance of causing noticeable tissue damage. Although a lower level of radiation exposure over a longer duration could also act as a carcinogen.

Nice. Actually it can. Microwaves give off a small wave of radioactive particles. You will be fine using it on a day to day basis. However, if you always press your face up against the glass whenever you microwave something, over the years you can develop cancer other illnesses.

I believe the answer is yes That is why microwave ovens are tested for any microwaves and you can't turn them on if door not shut Probably would also depend on the level

Hmmmmmmmmmm! I think in a roundabout way you are asking are they dangerous? if so we are all doomed, but I suppose if you climbed inside one and had someone press START. could be a tad hurtfull.
