title: Social Media Ups Clinical Trial Enrollment.
abstract: In just seven months, the Metastatic Breast Cancer Project has collected clinical and genetic data from more than 2,000 patients who learned about this effort from social media and volunteered to participate. The project could become a model for other cancer types where recruiting sufficient patients for clinical trials through traditional channels is often a challenge.
