Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected care for diseases like cancer. The aim was to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on waiting times for diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer (PC), as well as the possible effect on the treatment results in PC patients undergoing radical prostatectomy.
Methods: We compared the results of 497 patients who underwent biopsy prior to the COVID-19 pandemic (1 January-31 December 2019) with those of 290 patients biopsied during the COVID-19 pandemic (1 January-31 December 2020).
