There are both vaccines for HPV (cause of cervical cancer) and HBV (cause of liver cancer).
Although, as another comment points out, even in the directly anti-cancer category this isn't actually the first; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sipuleucel-T is already approved.

If you're a woman under age 26 you should get this at once.
The cited article totally skips over these existing vaccines, of course. Probably someone along the line deleted one too many words from a more factually accurate sentence in the original press release.
Saddens me that the take up has not been much, much higher, but I have other forums for expressing my views on anti-vaccination liars.
