Stop how to stop the timer in flutter?

I have created a timer in flutter and everything works fine. Now I cant figure out how to dismiss the timer after I started it.
The docs say that you can cancel it by calling "void cancel()" but I don't understand the implementation.

How am I supposed to call it?
And is it the right approach?

static const timeout = const Duration(seconds: 5);
static const ms = const Duration(milliseconds: 1);

startTimeout([int milliseconds]) {
var duration = milliseconds == null ? timeout : ms * milliseconds;
return new Timer(duration, handleTimeout);
}

void handleTimeout() { // callback function
Navigator.of(context).pushAndRemoveUntil(new MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (BuildContext context) => new ScorePage(quiz.score, quiz.length)),(Route route) => route == null);
return;
}

Just keep a reference to the time and cancel it when you don't need it anymore

var timer = startTimeout(100);
timer.cancel();
