Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of immunotherapy in a wide range of neoplasms. Methods: Scientometric study using the PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) and Science Direct databases. It followed inclusion criteria that cover articles published nationally and internationally, without restriction on publication period and in clinical studies and analysis research available free of charge. Programs such as VosViewer, Mendeley and Excel were used to process the data. Results: 32 articles were included. Article publications range from 1969 to 2024, offering a comprehensive view of the evolution of immunotherapy research over more than half a century. This allows researchers to chart progress and identify areas of continued growth and interest. There has been a notable increase in the amount of research published in recent years, reflecting a growing interest and investment in the area of ​​cancer immunotherapy. Conclusion: Studies on the subject are on a promising trajectory, with significant advances and a future full of potential. Precision medicine, cutting-edge technology and international collaboration are driving this field forward, making it an essential part of modern oncology.
