PG - 361 LID - 10.1186/s12935-022-02763-z [doi] LID - 361 AB - Gynecological cancer is one of the most severe diseases that threaten the lives and health of women worldwide. Its incidence rate increases with each passing year and becomes more prevalent among young people. The prognosis of gynecological cancer remains poor despite significant advances in surgical removal and systemic chemotherapy. Several chemokines play a role in the progression of gynecologic cancers. CCL2 (CC-chemokine ligand 2), also termed MCP-1 (monocyte chemotactic protein 1), plays a significant physiological role in monocyte cell migration and the inflammatory response. Recent studies have demonstrated that CCL2 plays a pro-tumorigenic function in the tumor microenvironment. According to previous studies, CCL2 plays a significant role in the occurrence and development of gynecological cancers. Furthermore, recent studies noted that CCL2 could be a potential diagnostic biomarker and prognostic predictor. The purpose of this paper is to review the role of CCL2 in the occurrence and development of gynecological cancers and to discuss the potential therapeutic strategy of CCL2 for gynecological cancers, with a primary focus on breast cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and endometrial cancer.
