I think IT Minion may have dabbled in a bit of click baiting, with the headline. But the idea based on a very very small study is that the cancer was interrupted for a period time. Good news for the half dozen in the study that got better outcomes. There obviously has to be some caution because many viruses cause cancer and even flu like symptoms has been known to reawaken some dormant cancer cells.
In the world of cancer research 5 years without relapse is as close to cured as you get. As a rule of thumb if it was going to come back it would have done so by then.
...believed to be related to the size of the immune response, which for a vaccine to be used has to be fairly small especially compared to an actual infection. I don't believe there has ever been a vaccine that has been believed to have caused cancer. But as you say multiple diseases appear to cause cancer if you're not vaccinated and get unlucky.
