Would you recommend PMRT in a patient with dermal invasion as the sole adverse feature after a skin sparing mastectomy for an early stage breast cancer?

In the absence of epidermal invasion and absence of dermal lymphatic invasion (DLI)

Pathological dermis involvement in these early stage patients is function of location ( like retroareolar or superficial location) rather than aggressiveness of disease and thus outcome is more like early stage disease

In absence of other adverse factor I would favor observation
