Delaying Surgery for Clinical T1b-T2bN0M0 Renal Cell Carcinoma: Oncologic Implications in the COVID-19 Era and Beyond
§ The spread of the the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) has disrupted healthcare delivery.
§ Many non-emergent, but potentially curative, urologic oncology procedures have been delayed.
§ These delays encompass partial and radical nephrectomies for localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
§ Active surveillance (AS) literature demonstrates that for many cT1a (3 1.06 [0.92, 1.23] 0.422 0.90 [0.77, 1.05] 0.17

INTRODUCTION METHODS RESULTS
CONCLUSIONS
§ COVID-19 has resulted in the delay of elective, possibly curative surgeries for RCC
§ We examined the oncologic impact of surgical delay in cT1b-T2b RCC
§ Surgical delays up to, and even beyond 3 months do not increase the risk of pT3a up-staging nor compromise overall survival
§ Triaging surgery for RCC should incorporate patient and tumor characteristics
