https://www.selleckchem.com/products/cc-122.html Women Veterans are a growing population with complex care needs. While previous research has examined the experiences of women Veterans, little attention has been paid to the specific experiences of older women Veterans. These case studies present the experiences of 2 older women Veterans who have been enrolled in Veterans Affairs (VA) health care for several decades. Results suggest that these older women Veterans have faced gender-specific challenges and barriers throughout their time accessing VA care. The experiences of these participants suggest that they have gender-sensitive needs that are not always addressed by VA primary care and that women's groups are important mechanisms by which they have gained psychological support in a gender-sensitive environment. These cases suggest that access to gender-sensitive services and women-centered spaces are important for these 2 older women Veterans and should be explored in future research.Background Patients with colon cancer (CC) with low socioeconomic position (SEP) have a worse survival than patients with high SEP. We investigated the association between different socioeconomic indicators and the steps in the treatment trajectory leading to initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for patients with stage III CC.Materials and Methods A systematic review and meta-analyses were conducted in accordance with the MOOSE checklist. MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched for eligible studies. Meta-analyses were performed on the separate socioeconomic indicators with the random-effects model. The heterogeneity across studies was assessed by the Q and the I2 statistic.Results In total, 27 observational studies were included. SEP was measured by insurance, income, poverty, employment, education, or an index on an area or individual level. SEP, regardless of indicator, was negatively associated with the steps in the treatment trajectory leading to initiation of ACT among patients wit
