Is a cancer vaccine even possible as a concept? Would it even be classified as a vaccine since cancer isn't a virus?

Obviously creating preventative measures for cancer would be amazing but I figured that wasn't even a subject we were broaching since treating it is hard enough

I'm especially ignorant on cancer medicine, but I do know that Cuba has developed a vaccine that is supposed to prevent a type of lung cancer. My guess would be a similar sort of result here
