About

John B. Malcolm is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the modern surgical management of prostate cancer. His research centers on two critical areas: optimizing surgical outcomes through robotic-assisted techniques and understanding the long-term quality-of-life impacts of prostate cancer treatments. Dr. Malcolm’s landmark multi-institutional study on positive surgical margins after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, cited 149 times, provided essential benchmarks for surgical precision by analyzing over 8,400 procedures. Equally influential is his seminal 2010 work comparing health-related quality of life across open and robotic prostatectomy, cryoablation, and brachytherapy—a study with 103 citations that remains a cornerstone for shared decision-making between clinicians and patients. Beyond prostate cancer, Dr. Malcolm has advanced minimally invasive urology through his pioneering case series on robot-assisted ureteral re-implantation, demonstrating the expanding role of robotics in complex reconstructive surgery. His contributions have directly improved surgical standards and patient counseling, making him a respected authority in urologic oncology and robotic surgery.
