In this study, we focused for the first time in literature on the impact of postponement of surgeries due to COVID-19 emergency on the on health-related quality-of-life of uro-oncologic patients by using the SF-36 questionnaire. Actually, basing on the data concerning the incidence of urologic tumors, it could be hypothesized a further extension in Italy of the waiting list for cancer diseases, which could be subsequently associated to increased risk of psychologic disorders and decrements in health status in the oncological patients.	./cache/cord-271407-wrhjnz8w.txt	./txt/cord-271407-wrhjnz8w.txt
