About
James L. Mohler is a distinguished urologic oncologist whose work sits at the intersection of prostate cancer biology, bladder cancer surgery, and the advancement of robot-assisted surgical techniques. He is perhaps best known for his contribution to the 2010 NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology on Prostate Cancer, a landmark document that has shaped clinical decision-making worldwide and accumulated over 600 citations. His laboratory research has made significant strides in understanding the molecular mechanisms driving prostate cancer aggressiveness, particularly investigating the androgen receptor's role in racial disparities in disease outcomes and recurrence following androgen deprivation therapy. Beyond the bench, Mohler has been a pioneer in robot-assisted radical cystectomy, helping establish its oncologic credibility through multi-institutional studies at Roswell Park Cancer Institute and the International Robotic Cystectomy Consortium. Equally noteworthy is his commitment to surgical education: his development of augmented reality training modules and validated competency assessment tools—including PACE and RACE—has transformed how robotic surgical skills are taught and evaluated globally. With influential publications spanning clinical guidelines, translational science, and surgical innovation, Mohler's career represents a rare and impactful breadth of contributions to urologic oncology.
