I hope nothing because i do it all the time. Nothing causes instant cancer.

For a cell to become cancerous it needs 6 specific mutations to make it rapidly proliferate (grow), divide, escape our immune system, travel throughout our bodies, resist programmed cell death, and some others that i cant think of right now. So it wont mean instant cancer.

It could give of mutagenic chemicals which could lead to the progression of cancer. In small doses i assume it wont be too detrimental, but its a good idea to microwave it in a microwave safe plate.
