Zero: Cosmetic and comfort issue, not a cancer risk. But it takes an exam by an ENT to discern if there is something more than septal deviation causing your symptoms.

Very: Low indeed. The majority of these are completely benign in nature - just a crooked sheet of cartilage.

Deviated septum: A deviated septum is a common issue. It can be caused by trauma, position in utero and even during the birth process. It is uncommon for cancer to be the cause. If there are symptoms like nasal obstruction, snoring or recurrent sinusitis, have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.
