How, if at all, does your practice differ between male and female breast cancer patients with respect to the use of bolus?

Not sure if I understand the question.
The skin is not the target here; it's the chest wall. Contour it and cover it.
Without an indication for increasing skin dose (T4 disease, etc.), I'm not sure of the value of bolus in either men or women.
