The COVID pandemic seems to have caused a lot of skepticism toward science in some groups of people. I do hope this does not creep into cancer treatment. This looks like a significant advance in treatment.

Huge improvement of the approach thanks to advancementes of the technology. One of the best advantages is that once a genetic variation is found important there is no need to run complicated and specialized sequencing tests for patients, simple molecular methods can help a doctor finding out if the specific cancer it is in treatment have this mutation or not.

How is this even related to the analysis of cancer genetics?

You already gave this completely false explanation yesterday trying to hide the fact that the vaccine has not been advanced in more than one decade, for which your answer was deleted for being offtopic.
What is the purpose of just copy pasting something that is against the rules again?

Advances in technology will be beneficial to finding treatments to many diseases.
Scientists believe in the not too distant future, preventative vaccination strategies similar to those used for hepatitis B hold great promise for reducing the burden of HPV-associated cancer.
Globally, as many people die from hep B as from HIV/AIDS.

As you even described "thanks to advancementes of the technology.", advancements in vaccines to prevent cancer are taking place; so you can see the obvious relation between the two is, surprise, cancer.
That was easy.
