Immunterápia, also known as immunotherapy, is a type of cancer treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. It uses substances made either by the body or in a laboratory to improve, target, or restore immune system function.

There are several types of immunotherapy. Some work by helping the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. Others boost the immune system's activity generally. Some immunotherapies are designed to block proteins that cancer cells use to hide from the immune system.

Immunotherapy can be used to treat a wide range of cancers, including melanoma, lung cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, and certain types of lymphoma and leukemia. The specific type of immunotherapy used depends on the type and stage of cancer, as well as the individual patient's health.

While immunotherapy can be a very effective treatment, it can also cause side effects. These side effects occur when the immune system, which is activated to fight cancer, also affects healthy tissues and organs. Common side effects can include fatigue, skin rash, diarrhea, and flu-like symptoms. More serious side effects can also occur, affecting organs such as the lungs, liver, or intestines.

The development of immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, offering new hope for patients with previously untreatable cancers. Research is ongoing to develop new and more effective immunotherapies and to better manage their side effects.
