This is the first I've heard of a vaccine for cancer AND the first that showed in preliminary tests that it prevented 100% of cervical pre-cancers and non-invasive cervical cancers caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
It's called Gardasil by Merck who is seeking FDA approval of the vaccine before the end of the year.
