Marvin Langston

Assistant Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health

Bio

Dr. Langston joined the faculty in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health in 2022. He received his PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Arizona’s College of Public Health followed by postdoctoral training in Cancer Prevention and Control at Washington University in Saint Louis School of Medicine. Dr. Langston focuses on the epidemiology of benign and malignant prostate conditions. His long-term goal is to harmonize molecular and clinical aspects of urological condition diagnoses to produce well-characterized outcomes for biomarker discovery and etiological investigation.

Projects

Long-term effectiveness of BPH/LUTS pharmacological therapies and using machine learning based predictive analytics to tailor treatment, NIDDK, Stanford University

This project will compare the effectiveness of pharmacological therapy for lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia in preventing long-term disease progression; and develop and validate predictive models using demographic, clinical, and laboratory data available at the time of diagnosis to identify patients at increased risk of long-term disease progression.

Prediction of Postoperative Urinary Retention in a Large Integrated Health System, KP Community Benefits, Stanford University

Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is the inability to void despite a full bladder following a surgical procedure. POUR can result in painful catherization, increased patient distress, increased postoperative hospital stay, urinary tract infections, detrusor muscle dysfunction, and cardiac arrhythmias. This research will lead to the development of a preoperative tool that can risk stratify patients based on risk factors for POUR and help providers develop a care plan to reduce patients' risk.

Professor (Clinical) of Urology, Emeritus
Research Interests
Clinical Medical Research devoted to tertiary level application of treatment modalities for neurologic and functional disturbances of the genitourinary tract. Problems such as urinary incontinence, urinary retention, urinary flow dysfunction (BPH), impotence, and chronic pelvic pain syndromes are addressed. New medical devices and technology for treating these disorders are investigated

Psychology
Research Interests
My research focuses on improving cancer survivorship through better understanding of long-term health outcomes and through the development of theoretically driven, evidence-based behavioral interventions to improve adjustment, risk management, and quality of life. To this end, I lead studies aimed to guide and support patient decision-making and self-management after cancer. Much of my work focuses on the experiences of young adults affected by cancer.
