Do wind farms cause cancer?

I live fairly near a wind farm, which was built about 15 years ago.

In these past 15 years, 3 women under 50, who live in the 5 nearest houses, have developed cancer. Two of them were in their 20's.

Does anyone know if this is at all typical?

What makes you think that wind farms cause cancer?

Maybe it's living near you that does it!

considering that 1 in 3 of us will develop cancer of one form or another in our life times, I think it's much more likely other factors besides the windfarm are at play here.

No reason at all to think they do, no.

5 nearest houses - I'm guessing at least a couple of people per house? So at least 10 residents? 3/10 develop cancer = totally normal proportion, sadly :(
