Isaac Coleman, 14, died May 21 after battling stage 3 mouth cancer, his father Daniel Coleman — the children's entertainer Danny Go! — said in an Instagram post.
Stage 3 oral cancer means the primary tumor is larger than 4 centimeters; the disease can spread through the mouth and throat if untreated, and about 63% of oral cavity patients survive five years after diagnosis.
Mouth cancer is the most common head-and-neck cancer but usually affects adults 60 and older, making Isaac's case unusually young.
Doctors say causes are not always clear: tobacco, alcohol, HPV, sun exposure to the lips and weakened immunity raise risk, while symptoms include persistent mouth sores, red or white patches, lumps and painful swallowing.

For rare diseases like Isaac's, gene therapy offers new hope. How close are we to a future without these genetic killers?

Isaac’s body couldn't repair its own DNA. What does this rare defect reveal about the fundamental triggers of cancer and aging?
