Marshall Strother, M.D.
- Assistant Professor of Urology, School of Medicine
Biography
Dr. Strother specializes in caring for patients with cancers of the genitourinary system, including the kidney, prostate, adrenal gland, ureter, bladder, penis, testicles and urethra. He has advanced training in open and minimally invasive (laparoscopic, robotic and endoscopic) surgery.
Dr. Strother chose to specialize in urologic oncology because of the immense satisfaction he feels in helping patients move past cancer. Most urologic cancers can be cured, and helping patients return to living happy, healthy lives while using advanced technology to minimize the side effects of treatment is extremely rewarding.
Dr. Strother's research focuses on improving the care of patients immediately before and after surgery.
Outside of work, Dr. Strother enjoys biking, reading science fiction and rock climbing with his wife, who is a pediatric endocrinologist at Doernbecher Children's Hospital.
