You couldn't add a "standard button" in the Flow itself, but if you wrapped the flow on a Visualforce page you could have a button there.

I agree with Andy,  today there is not standard "Cancel" button for the flow screens. As a workaround, you could use Visualforce page as mentioned by Andy in order to add custom button or link to give the user the possibility to exit the flow to the specified page, you can use the "Cancel" standard controller action for example:
<apex:commandLink value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/>

One of the drawbacks of this solution is that since we run our flow from a Visualforce page, it will use Classic runtime.
It is not ideal workaround, and it is a pity that we encounter the same limitations two years later ;-) 
P.S. There is an idea "Allow Flow Designer "Exit Flow" button" (https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000keEFAAY)  posted 4 years ago that you can upvote and comment on. The author suggests another workaround that is to use checkbox screen element.
