Toll-like receptors are important molecules of innate immunity. They are known as pattern recognition receptors. They recognise certain molecules known as pathogen-associated molecular pattern on a pathogen and release chemicals that causes inflammation. Toll-like receptors (TLR) help in the removal of the infected cell and thus stop the spread of infection and are being studied for their association with cancer. Oral carcinoma has emerged as a major problem of our country today; it is found ranks first in men and third in women. Toll-like receptors have been implicated in the development of cancer. Certain polymorphisms in toll-like receptor can make a cell more susceptible to develop oral cancer. The identification of toll-like receptors and the different genotypes that are involved in the development of cancer can be utilised for using them as biomarkers of the disease. The study revealed that toll-like receptors like TLR7 and TLR5 are found to have a role in suppression of oral cancer while toll-like receptors like TLR4 and TLR2 are found to be associated with the progression of oral cancer. Toll-like receptors can turn out as important target molecules in the future in designing therapeutic strategies for oral cancer.
