    Apparently, "wolf" was a metaphorical name for cancers which "devoured" flesh, as opposed to creating tumors, I guess.

    ...but I mean that's the band name "Cancer, and Wolf"

    Seriously though, going over a reddit threat this was on, looks like "Wolf" referred to a fast-growing tumor that "ate you like a wolf" or somesuch.
