Actor and comedian Dave Coulier, best known for his role as Joey Gladstone on the ABC sitcom Full House, revealed this month that he has been diagnosed with early-stage tongue cancer. This announcement comes just months after being declared cancer-free from stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The diagnosis followed a routine PET scan that revealed abnormalities at the base of his tongue.

Coulier, age 66, said that doctors informed him the new cancer is unrelated to his earlier lymphoma. He is undergoing 35 scheduled rounds of radiation treatment, with a prognosis he describes as “very good,” citing a cure rate above 90 percent for this type of P16-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma.
