BALTIMORE, MD—The Berndt Group announced that it has been selected by the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) to update the organization's Web properties.

Radiation oncologists, radiation oncology nurses, medical physicists, radiation therapists, dosimetrists and biologists comprise ASTRO's more than 10,000 members, making it the largest radiation oncology organization in the world. These medical professionals, found at hospitals and cancer treatment centers around the globe, make up the radiation therapy treatment teams that are critical in the fight against cancer. These teams, which often include a nutritionist and a social worker, treat more than 1 million cancer patients each year. Among ASTRO's members are health care professionals from distinguished community practice centers as well as major academic research facilities.
