      As far as I understand, the approved treatments for bone mets (excluding systemic therapies like BRAFi and PD1) are as follows:

      1. X-ray Beam Therapy

      2. Denosumab/bisphsphates

      3. Surgical removal

      Are there any other treatments for bone mets and melanoma or treatment strategies beyond this that specifically treat bone mets? Are there any centers that focus on bone met treatments? Is SRS an option once XRT has been tried? Any non-pharmaceutical approaches backed by scientific studies? Perhaps I'm grasping at straws here.
