BACKGROUND The -2518A/G (rs1024611) polymorphism of the CCL2 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 2), also known as MCP-1 (monocyte chemotactic protein-1) gene, has been reported to be associated with increased gynecological cancer risk, but the results are conflicting. METHODS In this analysis, 1089 cases and 1553 controls from six publications were used to investigate the association between CCL2-25...
