A staff of cancellation can be used to nullify any special talents
or properties that a monster has.  For example, if you zap a black
pudding with one, it will no longer split in two every time you
hit it.  Umber hulks won't be able to confuse you.  Etc.

By the way, a friend of mine advocates that, if you happen to find
a scroll of genocide, you should wipe out black puddings, because they
are such a pain in the ass!
