You could add JavaScript attached to the form's OnSave event (passing the execution context) to check the save mode and update the field:
function OnSave(executionObj) {
var saveMode = executionObj.getEventArgs().getSaveMode();
if (saveMode === 40) { //Cancel
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("title").setValue("Canceled");
}
}
