The other day NBC News ran a story about Colontown, the Facebook support community that I belong to. It's a quick video that specifically highlights the clinical trial neighborhood and how it can help patients and caregivers navigate the complexity of clinical trials.

For example, a quick search for colon cancer on the US National Institute of Health's clinical trial website brought back 3,913 possible trials. How in the world am I supposed to navigate through all of that information without a medical degree?
