Would you treat the axilla and supraclav in a recurrent breast cancer that presented in the breast and IMNs that had comprehensive breast/node radiation many years ago?

Not for prophylaxis -the risk of complications is too high. I would reserve RT for treatment of symptomatic lesions not otherwise manageable by surgery or systemic therapy.
