"Women with abnormal cells on their cervix owing to certain types of human papillomavirus infection are at higher risk of developing breast cancer later in life, the findings from a new study suggest."
The types found are covered by the HPV vaccine.
"The lead author of the study, Prof John Lawson, said the study found HPV type 18 was the most common type identified in breast cancer specimens, followed by HPV 16."
This association has been suspected for several years. Causation has not yet been established, so more research is needed.

"An expert in medical genetics with the University of Newcastle, Prof Rodney Scott, said it appeared HPV accounted for a “very small” proportion of women who developed breast cancer at a younger age. But given the number of women presenting with breast cancer overall, it is important for further studies to be carried out to prove a relationship,” he said"
As you mention and the genetic expert states above, more research is needed at this point to prove a relationship, so why bother suggesting the vaccine will do much or any good for anyone in this regard?
I think it's much more important to focus on what we do know in regards to true cancer prevention across the board.
The current Gardasil product protects against nine strains of HPV, which account for 90% of the associated cancers. Demanding a vaccine be 100% perfect is a demonstration of the Nirvana fallacy.

Most cases of HPV resolve on their own within a couple years. There's absolutely no reason to vaccinate against it when HPV rarely causes cancer. Those vaccines are just another way to make profit for the pharmaceutical companies. They're pushing them onto young people who aren't even having sex yet, and by the time they do start having sex the vaccine may not cover them since it doesn't provide lifelong protection. The vaccine is also giving some young people the impression that they are protected against all STDs, when that's not true.
Someone with HPV simply needs to take measures against cancer in multiple ways--make sure they are nutritionally sufficient, avoid daily toxins as much as possible, take care of pathogens, and make sure their hormones are in balance. There are many things a person can do to reduce their chances of cancer proliferation. Taking a vaccine isn't necessary.

Not all cancers are diet related. HPV cannot be prevented or treated by diet. The only toxin related is tobacco; smokers have a harder time clearing the virus. "Most" cases are not all cases, and HPV causes almost 27,000 cancers annually. That does not include precancerous conditions such as cervical dysplasia in women that require costly and often painful testing and treatment.
Using the vaccine is taking care of the pathogen. It prevents the infection, with the new version of Gardasil protecting against the nine strains associated with 90% of HPV associated cancers. The HPV vaccine is almost 100% effective, has no documented serious adverse effects other than allergic reactions (none fatal), and at present there is no evidence that protection from it wanes over time. If that is found to be true in the future, then boosters will be recommended.
Anyone who is given the vaccine is told that it does not protect against other STDs and that it does not prevent all cancers. The HPV vaccine has been shown not to increase promiscuity.

Just adding to your post. Getting regular paps is also very important in preventing cervical cancer.

Current screening incorporates testing for HPV, because the vast majority of cervical cancers are caused by HPV. Cervical cancer is not the only cancer associated with HPV. Pap smears only become positive if there are changes to suggest that a potential cancer is developing. By then, the HPV infection has already happened and regression becomes less likely. The nine valent vaccine prevents infection with the strains associated with 90% of the cancers.
Cervical Pap smears will not help diagnose cancers elsewhere in the female genital tract, anal cancer or throat cancer in men or women, or penile cancer in men.
In addition, the vaccine prevents common genital warts, which do not always go away spontaneously and can be embarrassing and painful and difficult to treat.
HPV can also be transmitted to the infant during birth and result in laryngeal warts in the baby.
The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends screening for HPV and doing Pap smears, with HPV screening alone as an acceptable alternative for some women.
