As long as the HV holds at 25kv and you're not hugging the CRT, radiation isn't an issue.

Seriously, does anyone know ANYBODY who got cancer from a TV set? Heck, if it were that dangerous, TV repairment would be dropping left and right.

The currents/voltages used are at the low low end of the X ray scale - IIRC, they can barely get through the faceplate or out of the cabinet.
