Exeter RD&E says none of its patients who waited longer than the target time for cancer treatment have been harmed by the delay.
The hospital has failed to meet its target of treating 85 per cent of patients within 62 days of referral by their GP.
The RD&E says some of those involved had urological cancers.. and referrals for those conditions have risen by 12 per cent - partly because it's the only hospital in the region to offer robotically-assisted surgery.
The hospital has recruited extra urology staff and is working to free up theatre capacity for cancer surgery as part of the measures to meet the target.
