Medical - Medical (general) / Cancer diagnosis
German term or phrase: Boborthese
From a bronchial cancer diagnosis...the term only appears once in the document:

Die Patientin wurde über die Notaufnahme primär aufgenommen und es wurden die entsprechenden Notfallmaßnahmen, Bestrahlung und Versorgung der Patientin mit ***Boborthese*** durchgeführt. Es wurde von den Pulmonologen eine weiterführende Chemotherapie empfohlen....

I got exactly 0 hits in google with this term! I also tried quite a number of online medical dictionaries, as well as variant spellings (boborthesis, bobrothese, etc.). If anyone has any idea what this is, I would be most grateful!

Explanation:
I found only 1 hit on Google and cannot find any other info. It could be a brand name, but it is strange that you can't find other sites with it.

He denies any specific sensory symptoms. He has discontinued his Oxycontin and uses Percocet and Valium 1-2 times a day only. He continues to wear his BOB orthosis. . . .
