Hundreds of thousands of people marched through Warsaw on Sunday in opposition to the governing party before an October general election, summoning memories of Poland’s rejection of Communist Party rule decades before.

A company that developed a blood test that detects dozens of types of cancer has acknowledged that about 400 of its customers were mistakenly told last month that they might have the disease. The company, Grail, said in an emailed statement Sunday that a vendor it works with had sent hundreds of letters with incorrect test results because of a “software configuration issue” that has since been resolved.
