Hi . This is a good question and it is understandable that this would be a concern. I need to note that we are not medical professionals and, for your protection, cannot provide medical advice over the internet. I did find this study looking at whether radiation therapy be modified for prostate cancer patients on anticoagulants which did find a "substantial risk:" https://www.redjournal.org/article/S0360-3016(07)02654-5/fulltext. Of course, this is one study and it also know that surgery while on blood thinners also carries risk, so it is important to ask any doctors you speak to about treatment options these questions.
