So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors — or doesn't it?

While such vigilant（警覺的）tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly

Most of the elderly people he interviewed said they had supportive and friendly dealings and got along well or very well with their sisters and brothers.
