The deaths of 25 patients are under review by one of the UK's biggest NHS trusts, after it admitted "poor record keeping".
Westminster and two other London local authorities have expressed "extreme concern" about lost data on referrals at Imperial College Healthcare.
BBC News understands Imperial is still unaware of the outcomes of 86 patients who were referred for cancer tests.
The trust says it does not believe any patient has come to serious harm.
Imperial, which runs four big hospitals in London, has however admitted that patients may have faced "discomfort, worry and possible deterioration as a result of a delay".
In an unprecedented move, the trust was allowed to suspend the reporting of its waiting times for planned operations and diagnostic tests to the government for the first six months of this year.
