No, skinny jeans do not cause cancer. Cancer is characterized by a mutation in cells, which cannot be caused by tight pants.

However, tight pants such as skinny jeans can put pressure on the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve causing a numbness or tingling sensation in the legs. Also, women who wear tight clothing often are at risk for yeast infections. In men, tight pants can reduce fertility.

The best advice is to not wear them too often. And if they are not comfortable, don't wear them at all.

It is also important to note that any tight fitting pants can cause or increase the likelihood of testicular cancer in males. They may, in future, find that tight fitting clothing may effect women somehow too.
