No significant difference was observed in the treatment completion rates (88% vs. 92%, p = 1) between patients in the Ccr-L and Ccr-H groups. CONCLUSIONS Regardless of baseline renal function, DOC-RT is a safe regimen for elderly patients with EC.BACKGROUND Poor oral health is an independent risk factor for upper aerodigestive tract cancers, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The pattern recognition receptor Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) recognizes lipopolysaccharide in the cell walls of Gram-negative periodontal pathogens associated with the development and progression of ESCC. It is, therefore, plausible that TLR4 plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of ESCC. METHODS We used an ESCC tissue microarray to confirm expression of TLR4 in patients with ESCC and to determine whether TLR4 expression status correlates with the clinicopathological features of these patients or their prognosis after esophagectomy. We also tested whether the combined expression statuses of TLR4 and TLR3 better correlate with prognosis in these patients than either parameter alone. RESULTS Clinical ESCC samples from all 177 patients tested showed expression of TLR4. Moreover, high TLR4 expression (3 + and 2 +) correlated with poorer 5-year overall survival after esophagectomy than lower TLR4 expression (1 +) (p = 0.0491). Patients showing high TLR4 expression tended to have a poorer prognosis whether treated with surgery alone or with surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed TLR4 expression status to be an independent prognostic factor affecting 5-year overall survival. Patients exhibiting high TLR4 expression with low TLR3 expression had a much poorer prognosis than other patients (p =  less then  0.0001). CONCLUSION High TLR4 expression predicts a poor prognosis in advanced thoracic ESCC patients after esophagectomy.The i
