The following variables were analysed: age; sex; functional status (defined according to the ECOG scale) (21); personal background; diagnosis; type of surgical intervention; the timing of SARS-CoV-2 infection; the treatment required (Table 1) ; the severity of the respiratory infection (according to the BRCSS) (20) ; and postoperative complications (according to the Dindo-Clavien classification) (19) . Ten (16.9%) of the oncological patients, one (1%) of those operated on electively for benign diseases and four (7%) of the urgent surgery group presented with a SARS-CoV-2 infection, with statistically significant differences in the infection rate of the three groups (p = 0.004) ( Table 2) . Patients undergoing elective surgery before and during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic showed a high rate of postoperative complications, with a SARS-CoV-2 infection rate of up to 16% in patients undergoing oncologic surgical procedures.	./cache/cord-258067-par61wwh.txt	./txt/cord-258067-par61wwh.txt
