Well there are no actually vaccines to cure any type of cancer or directly prevent cancer. However, there is a virus called the human papilloma virus that can be sexually transmitted. Women whom contract human papilloma virus (HPV) can actually develop cervical cancer. I think a vaccine against HPV are being considered as a preventative measure against cervical cancer. I believe we will be seeing vaccination for women before they become sexually active.

A vaccine for advanced prostate cancer has gone thru several clinical trials, and may be on the market next year. So far it has only been tested for advanced prostate cancer, but variations may work on other cancers as well. These experimental vaccines are not meant to prevent cancer, but they can help people who already have it. You can check out the following companies for more info:

cancer is the result of miscommunication at the cellular level. A vaccine is not what you need
