Colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common cancer globally, caused 881,000 cancer deaths in 2018. Toll-like receptors (TLRs), the primary sensors of pathogen-associated molecular patterns and damage-associated molecular patterns, activate innate and adaptive immune systems and participate in the development of an inflammatory tumor microenvironment. We aimed to explore the prognostic value of TLR3, TLR5, TLR7, and TLR9 tissue expressions in CRC patients.
