German term

BK 2-(3)°, bds

German to English Medical Medical (general) Gynecology
This is a German breast sonography report where patient has had breast cancer and an implant. She previously had cancer in one breast but not in the other, but has implants in both. The following appears in the report:

"Regelrecht einliegendes Implantat, BK 2-(3)°, bds"

The only part I am not sure of is what "BK" refers to here. And do the degrees refer to direction, to the severity or to a classification grade?

Thanks!
Stephen

BK=Brustkrebs is what came to my mind too, but I rejected it because of bds.=beidseits. Stephen specified that the patient had cancer in one breast only. Besides, cancer stages are normally given in Roman numerals, so that wouldn't fit either - unless the doctor or typist was very sloppy.
