Local therapies for metastatic NSCLC while on Osmirtinib

Hi. I listened to a panel discussion on Saturday Nov 10, led by Dr Jack West, on local therapies for oligo-progression or oligo-metastatic disease when a systemic therapy like Tagrisso is on place and working. The panel talked about radiation and surgery options. They did not mention internal radiation treatments like SIRT radio-embolization or radio-frequency ablation. 

I am in exactly the position described and I will most likely have one of these procedures on my liver shortly.
