How do you approach positioning and irradiation of breast cancer in accessory breast tissue in the axilla? If the accessory breast tissue extends into the arm, how would you position/immobilize the arm?

Last patient I treated, I used a breast board with vacuum bag to immobilize arm for reproducibility as I had to treat the breast plus regional nodes.
