More than 13,000 people suffering from cancer have been admitted to East Yorkshire's main hospitals this year.
Since January, 12,143 people have been admitted to Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham, while 938 have been admitted to Hull Royal Infirmary.
Last year, there were 21,416 admissions overall, with 20,136 in 2012.
Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust released the figures after the Mail revealed cancellations of cancer operations have risen by almost 50 per cent.
Overall, 56 operations were cancelled at the two hospitals in 2013 – an increase of 47 per cent on the previous year.
In the first seven months of this year, 35 operations were cancelled.
Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust says the rise is in line with an increase in admissions.
