Get to Know Dr. Daniel Sterman

Dr. Daniel Sterman specializes in interventional pulmonology, combining his innovative research with minimally invasive procedures to better diagnose and treat patients with various thoracic cancers.

Sterman joined New York University Langone Health and the Perlmutter Cancer Center as Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine director in 2014.

He works closely with thoracic surgeons and medical oncologists to treat patients with malignant mesothelioma and various lung diseases.

In the mesothelioma community, Sterman has been a long-time pioneer in the development of genetic immunotherapy, finding ways for a patient’s own immune system to fight cancer.

As a scientist and physician, he helps diagnose and manage benign disorders and cancers affecting the lungs. He determines the staging of a patient’s condition, and his treatments often lead to prolonging and improving quality of life.

“We don’t have all the answers, but we’re trying to find them,” Sterman said. “It’s why I come back every day, excited about going to work.”
