Would you ever boost the lumpectomy cavity and the scar after whole breast RT?

The site of relapse is the index cancer location and not the scar. We boost the surgical bed with a margin and not the scar. Scar boost is a misnomer and in the modern era with screen detected cancers. the scar location is based on cosmetic outcome and not necessarily the underlying cancer location....
