Cancer is a region of the sky, not an object at a distance.
The star DX Cancri in Cancer is about 12 light-years from Earth. (It cannot be seen with the naked eye.)
Cancer also contains Messier 67, a star cluster about 2500 light-years from Earth.
There may be closer objects too, and there are certainly more distant objects. At any distance, these are all within the constellation of Cancer.
