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.

Background: Complete Cytoreduction (CC) in ovarian cancer (OC) has been associated with better outcomes. Outcomes after CC have a multifactorial and interrelated cause that may not be predictable by conventional statistical methods. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be more accurate in predicting outcomes.

Background: To assess the utility of the TCGA molecular classification of endometrial cancer in a well-annotated, moderately sized, consecutive cohort of Chinese patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC).
Methods: We performed DNA sequencing on 80 OCCC patients via a panel that contains 520 cancer-related genes. The TCGA molecular subtyping method was utilized for classification.

Background: In recent years, there has been a growing number of case reports documenting delayed seroma in patients with a history of breast surgery and reconstruction. The occurrence of these seromas has been associated with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection or SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. So far, there are few systematic analyses on postoperative complications in breast surgery since the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Background: In 2018, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) revised its cervical cancer staging system to enhance clinical relevance, notably by categorizing lymph node metastases (LNM) as an independent stage IIIC. This multicenter study evaluates the prognostic implications of the FIGO 2018 classification within a Japanese cohort.
Methods: This study included 1468 patients with cervical cancer.
