Not that I know of. In fact, it may help radiation work better.

Do not know how that would impact lynch Syndrome. My radiation treatments went quite well, with minimal side effects, mostly fatigue after a couple weeks and continuing for a couple months after the end of treatments. Most challenge was the inconvenience for 38 days. Now watching psa levels.
