How would you treat a patient who had bilateral mastectomies for a bilateral squamous cell carcinoma of the breast with a positive lymph node?
How does your approach differ due to squamous cell carcinoma histology? What are your radiation fields?

I would treat chest wall and axilla for sure and would add supraclav field if the axilla nodal burden is high.
