In this regard, studies conducted in patients with bladder and esophageal tumors have shown that a prolonged time from diagnosis to surgery can yield to pathological upstaging (1,2). Similarly, a delay in radiotherapy has been associated with an increased risk of local recurrence in head and neck malignancies (3).},
