Popis: Objective:The aim of this study was to examine TLRs expression in tumoral and non-tumoral kidney tissue in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and to evaluate the prognostic significance of TLRs expression profile in ccRCC.Materials and Methods: TLR 1-10 mRNA expressions were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) 23 ccRCC tumoral tissue samples and 23 non-tumoral kidney tissue samples.Results:A total of 46 individuals were included in the study. None of the patients had rhabdoid or sarcomatoid features. Lymphovascular invasion was observed in only three patients. RT-PCR analyses revealed TLRs mRNA expressions in 23 ccRCC samples and 23 non-tumoral FFPE kidney tissue samples. TLR (TLR1-10) mRNA expression was significantly increased in FFPE ccRCC tissues according to RT-PCR results (p
