What chest wall boost volume do you use for patients with inflammatory breast cancer?

Do you use a standard margin around the mastectomy scar (ie 2cm sup/inf), or do you extend the field to include the entire chest wall?

I will typically boost the scar + 2-2.5 cm. It's also important to make sure the scar boost volume was all included in initial tangential volumes.
