Objects: To determine the incidence of infections with COVID-19 and the impact of COVID-19 on the radiation therapy of gynecological cancer patients. Subjects and methods: Retrospective and cross-sectional study of gynecological cancer patients treated at the Department of Radiation and Gynecology, Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital from June 2021 to June 2022. Result: The rate of gynecological cancer patients infected with COVID-19 was 67/2502 patients, accounting for 2.7%, of which 10.4% dropped out of treatment; 7.5% treatment delay and 82.1% treatment interruption. Conclusion: Infections with COVID-19 has a negative impact on radiotherapy in gynecological cancer patients. It is necessary to follow up and evaluate other impacts of COVID-19 during treatment.
