Given a passage classify if the passage has a definite objective/aim/goal or not. Output '1' if the passage has a defininte objective/aim/goal and output '0' if the passage does not have a definite objective/aim/goal.

Input: Consider Input: One-fifth of patients with seemingly 'curable' pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) experience an early recurrence and death, receiving no definable benefit from a major operation. Some patients with advanced stage tumors are deemed 'unresectable' by conventional staging criteria (e.g. liver metastasis), yet progress slowly. Effective biomarkers that stratify PDA based on biologic behavior are needed. To help researchers sort through the maze of biomarker data, a compendium of ∼2500 published candidate biomarkers in PDA was compiled (PLoS Med, 2009. 6(4) p. e1000046).", 'Building on this compendium, we constructed a survival tissue microarray (termed s-TMA) comprised of short-term (cancer-specific death <12 months, n\u200a=\u200a58) and long-term survivors (>30 months, n\u200a=\u200a79) who underwent resection for PDA (total, n\u200a=\u200a137). The s-TMA functions as a biological filter to identify bona fide prognostic markers associated with survival group extremes (at least 18 months separate survival groups). Based on a stringent selection process, 13 putative PDA biomarkers were identified from the public biomarker repository. Candidates were tested against the s-TMA by immunohistochemistry to identify the best markers of tumor biology. In a multivariate model, MUC1 (odds ratio, OR\u200a=\u200a28.95, 3+ vs. negative expression, p\u200a=\u200a0.004) and MSLN (OR\u200a=\u200a12.47, 3+ vs. negative expression, p\u200a=\u200a0.01) were highly predictive of early cancer-specific death. By comparison, pathologic factors (size, lymph node metastases, resection margin status, and grade) had ORs below three, and none reached statistical significance. ROC curves were used to compare the four pathologic prognostic features (ROC area\u200a=\u200a0.70) to three univariate molecular predictors (MUC1, MSLN, MUC2) of survival group (ROC area\u200a=\u200a0.80, p\u200a=\u200a0.07).

Input: Consider Input: To determine the prognostic role of co-morbidity in medically inoperable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).', "Between 2000 and 2007, 88 consecutive early-stage medically inoperable NSCLC patients were treated by linac-based SBRT. The dose was either 45 Gy or 67.5 Gy in three fractions prescribed to the isocenter. Baseline co-morbidities were retrospectively retrieved by consultation of a formal electronic registry of diagnoses as well as patients' charts. The age-adjusted Charlson Co-morbidity Index (CCI) was scored for each patient and subjected to univariate and multivariate analysis.", 'With a median follow-up of 44 months, the actuarial local control rate at 4 years was 89% while the median overall survival was 22 months. The median age-adjusted CCI score was 5. The age-adjusted CCI was a significant predictor of overall survival on both univariate (p=0.002) and multivariate analysis (p=0.011). Patients with an age-adjusted CCI score of 3 or less had a median survival of 41 months versus only 11 months for those scoring 6 or more.

Input: Consider Input: Immunosuppression is the therapeutic alternative for patients with aplastic anemia who are ineligible for allogeneic transplant. We aimed to assess the benefit of the combination of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and cyclosporine (CsA).', 'We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of all randomized controlled trials that compared ATG and CsA to ATG alone as first-line treatment for patients with severe and nonsevere aplastic anemia. The Cochrane Library, Medline, conference proceedings and references were searched until 2008. Relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for each trial and pooled.', 'Our search yielded 4 trials. For patients with severe aplastic anemia, there was a significant reduction in mortality in the ATG and CsA arm, which began at 3 months (RR = 0.50, 95% CI 0.29-0.85) and was maintained over a long follow-up of 5 years (RR = 0.58, 95 % CI 0.36-0.93). Conversely, in patients with nonsevere aplastic anemia, there was no difference in mortality.
