I think for this population, the local treatment is very important. For example, the radiotherapy, the surgery. So we must combine the local treatment and the systemic treatment together to try to cure this population. Because if we combine this radiotherapy or surgery, the local treatment together with the systemic we can overcome the resistance and overcome the oligometastatic progression and the local persistence to give the patient very long survival...
