Before enrolling in a lung cancer clinical trial at Henry Ford Health, Anjum Aslam was told to get his will in order. That was nearly 7 years ago.

Anjum was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer – with lesions on his brain – in 2019. He underwent chemotherapy and radiation at a local hospital but the treatment made him weak and confused. He was referred to our lung cancer doctor Shirish Gadgeel to explore clinical trial options.

Meeting with Dr. Gadgeel and the clinical trials team gave Anjum and his wife, Humma, renewed hope. “Dr. Gadgeel truly treated us like family,” Humma says. “Everyone from the nurse supervisor to the whole team went above and beyond to ensure we had access to the clinical trials treatment option, which has been life changing.”

Anjum has now participated in 2 clinical trials and has been on his current trial for more than 4 years. The treatment, which included radiation, has been effective – and has allowed Anjum to return to a more normal lifestyle.

“Mr. Aslam’s cancer is well controlled, including in the brain, which is very impressive,” Dr. Gadgeel says. “The courage he has shown has been remarkable. Within 6 months of his diagnosis, his cancer had progressed on standard therapy. At that point, he was referred to us. Without hesitation, Mr. Aslam volunteered to join a clinical trial. He told me that even if he did not personally benefit, he hoped others might—and that alone was reason enough for him to participate.”

For those hesitant to enroll in a clinical trial, Anjum offers this advice: “I am a living example of the difference clinical trials have made in my cancer journey. I wasn’t sure if I would see my grandchildren grow and I have. Dr. Gadgeel and Henry Ford are the best and we will be forever grateful for having access to treatment that has made such a positive impact in allowing me to live life to the fullest.”
