Cancer care at a hospital at the centre of a police inquiry has been found "unsafe".
NHS England has reviewed hundreds of cancer cases at Colchester Hospital.
The investigation follows a report by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which found staff were "pressured or bullied" to change data.
NHS England has found five areas - including skin cancer and urology - were unsafe. All cancer cases dating back to April 2010 will be reviewed.
Essex Police is currently investigating the CQC's findings.
Publishing its report on Thursday, NHS England said it had found problems with five cancer service areas including urology and skin cancers.
These problems were found as little as six days ago, it has emerged.
An additional 13 cancer patients are to be recalled, NHS England said.
'Number of worries'The report said: "A number of serious failings in cancer services organisation management and infrastructure have been identified."
This includes "unsafe information" and "unsustainable levels of staffing in key services".
It added: "More worryingly the immediate review confirmed the CQC finding that some Trust staff had a lack of confidence that concerns would be listened to."
The unsafe cancer services included urology, skin, brain, sarcoma, and radiology.
Andrew Pike, Essex director of NHS England said: "We tried to respond to do a rapid but thorough review of services.
"A number of worries were found and mitigating actions put in place to address this."
The review of cancer was prompted by the CQC after inspectors found staff had been bullied into changing patients' cancer records to meet Government waiting time targets.
