The imagining studies are not likely to raise you risk of cancer measurably over your baseline risk. You can reduce your risk of cancer by adopting healthy habits: Eat a mostly vegetarian diet, avoid alcohol, tobacco and street drugs, avoid excessive exposure to sun, maintain healthy weight, get HPV vaccine, exercise 30 minutes each day, drink enough water so your urine is mostly colorless.

The risk of not having imaging done is that it causes your practitioners to work blind. Imaging is not done frivolously, but only when there is diagnostic need. Yes, all radiation is cumulative, but the risk of damage is infinitesimally small.
