However, immunotherapy is a cutting-edge approach in the treatment of breast cancer. What makes patients with this pathology have new alternatives for their treatment. OBJECTIVE: To immunotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer. METHOD: A documentary research based on scientific literature on immunotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer was developed. RESULTS: Immunotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer is based on harnessing the patient's immune system to fight cancer cells, although not all patients respond equally and challenges remain, advances provide hope and additional therapeutic options for those patients who do not benefit from traditional treatments. CONCLUSION: Standardized care protocols need to be established for the identification, evaluation, and treatment of breast cancer patients who may benefit from immunotherapy.
