A constellation in modern astronomical parlance is defined by a region of the sky. It contains ALL the stars in that region, including the billions located in distant galaxies, so an exhaustive list is impossible.

The ones with "names" (as opposed to designations only) are:

alpha Cancri - Acubens

beta Cancri - Al Tarf

gamma Cancri - Asellus Borealis

delta Cancri - Asellus Australis

epsilon Cancri - see below

zeta Cancri - Tegmine

lambda Cancri - Kwan Kei

xi Cancri - Nahn

The story of epsilon Cancri is a bit compllicated. Originally that designation referred to an open cluster of around 1000 stars rather than a single star. Currently that cluster is called Praesepe, and one of the brighter stars within that cluster is e Can. However, as far as I know the current star designated e Can does not have a "name"; Praesepe (aka M44 or "the Beehive Cluster") is the name for the cluster as a whole.

To make matters even more confusing, while Praesepe is also called the Beehive Cluster, Praesepe actually means "manger."

Who found the constellation Cancer?

The constellations have been known as long as people can remember. A constellation is just a pattern stars appear to make in the sky as we look at them, though most of the stars that we associate as being part of any constellation have no connection to each other. Various ancient peoples have given names to the various constellations and those names still exist today.
