Actually,
Figure 2. Trends in age-adjusted cancer death rates by site, males, U.S., 1930-2011
Cancer rates have, for the most part, stayed even over many decades, and actually started DROPPING around the 90s. This does not list brain cancer, as this image is taken from a smoking study. However no studies that I know of show an increase in brain cancer per capita over any stretch of time. Skin cancer (melanoma) diagnosis has increased, from what I can tell mostly due to ozone depletion. This comes as a bit of surprise to me, as I would have thought cancers related to obesity would have skyrocketted from '95 onward. Mind you, I believe this graph is deaths, and not diagnosis.
Microwave radiation has no affect on DNA. you have nothing to fear from electricity or EM waves from electrical devices. EM waves from the SUN, however, have caused cancer for millennia.

Therein lies the rub. Much more cancer diagnosed, but because of advances, much of it treatable.
