I never thought to combine deaths by cancer and by wolves to save space or because they’re similar enough. I can’t comprehend why they thought it was a good idea either.

It wasn't cancer cancer, it was a big crab that lived in the Thames that hung out with a wolf.

Maybe they mean lupus? I think wolfes were already extinct in the 1600s on the British isles.
