Abstract (EN): Remarkable advances have been achieved in the field of nanomedicine and immunotherapy, since it was found that several nanomaterials can modulate the immune system. The main objective of this review is to collect and discuss studies where carbon nanomaterials (CNM), due to their unique structure and composition, revealed to be important tools in cancer treatment, immunostimulation, and immunosuppression of inflammatory or autoimmune diseases. These materials offer several advantages, such as being effective platforms for drug delivery and targeting, immunomodulation, phototherapy, and others. Some effects still need to be upgraded and some questions persist. Positive results were already achieved, although translation to clinics is still needed. The evolution of future investigations may still revolutionize the field of biomedicine.
