title: Environment critical to teenagers' recovery.
abstract: The Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT), the charity devoted to improving the lives of teenager cancer sufferers, has released the initial results of an independent study which it says prove that a high quality built environment, of the calibre seen in its 13 existing U.K. teenage cancer units, not only boosts patient morale by giving sick youngsters a feeling of control, but also encourages young cancer sufferers to complete their treatment, significantly impacting the number of positive outcomes. Jonathan Baillie reports on the study's London launch.
