This technology allows the surgeon to be <strong>highly accurate<\/strong> in targeting suspicious lesions, thereby increasing the likelihood of a precise diagnosis and reducing the need for multiple tissue samples. The <strong>advantages<\/strong> of <strong>Mona Lisa Biobot <\/strong>compared to traditional methods include <strong>minimal risk to the patient<\/strong>, shorter recovery time, and more excellent reliability in detecting <strong>prostate cancer<\/strong> at an early stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MBP63291-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MBP63291-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MBP63291-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MBP63291-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MBP63291-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MBP63291-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Professor Wetterauer <\/strong>represents another step forward for<strong> IMC Priora <\/strong>in providing top medical care and continuous development of the team in cooperation with <strong>leading world experts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A world-renowned expert Prof. Christian Wetterauer, as part of its commitment to providing superior health care and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4723,"template":"","news-category":[21],"class_list":["post-4731","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-category-for-profesionals"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/4731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.priora.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-category?post=4731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
