If for example I send a SELECT * from myTable, it has 20000 rows, and postgre starts sending the rows, how I can cancel this operation ?

I thought Cancelling Requests would be perfect for this ... the workaround is closing and opening again the connection but I don't like this approach ...

A cleaner solution is to use the extended query protocol to limit the total number of rows returned. For example, in my application I limit the result set to 1000 rows. I have not received all of the results, I switch to a server side cursor but still have the first 1000 rows for immediate display to the end user.
