In the last 3 months, we have experienced the beginning of a new era: a pandemic of the novel coronavirus. We investigated the health-related quality of life of oncologic patients whose surgery was postponed without being rescheduled. All patients perceived a reduction of their health conditions, and 86% noted prevalence of anxiety and loss of energy. Without any effective solution, we should expect the risk of increasing tumor progression and mortality in uro-oncologic patients.

Abstract
In the last 3 months, we have experienced the beginning of a new era: a pandemic of the novel coronavirus. We investigated the health-related quality of life of oncologic patients whose surgery was postponed without being rescheduled. All patients perceived a reduction of their health conditions, and 86% noted prevalence of anxiety and loss of energy. Without any effective solution, we should expect the risk of increasing tumor progression and mortality in uro-oncologic patients.File in questo prodotto:
