DirectionsGet to Know Dr. Daniel L. Miller
Thoracic surgeon Dr. Daniel Miller plays a prominent role in the multidisciplinary, patient-centered approach to treatment at the Georgia Cancer Center at the Medical College at Augusta University, which he joined in 2021 as surgical director.
He previously served at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Atlanta.
In his career, Miller helped pioneer the minimally invasive surgical techniques being used by doctors today for complex malignancies such as mesothelioma and new interventions with metastatic pleural diseases.
For more than two decades, Miller has treated patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma, performing both the pleurectomy and decortication and extrapleural pneumonectomy surgeries.
Part of the operations include using adjuvant pleural lavage, a technique designed to eliminate any microscopic tumor cells that evaded the surgeon.
