You will be given a definition of a task first, then some input of the task.
Given a passage with a question and an answer to that question, classify if the answer actually answers the question into 'yes' or 'no'. Output 'yes' if the answer answers the question and output 'no' if the answer does not answer the question.

Question: Are her2 and progesterone receptor status predictive of response to fulvestrant treatment?
Answer: Response rate and time to progression are shown to be independent of Her2 status, grading, and progesterone receptor status. This is probably caused by the unique mechanism of action associated with fulvestrant: Due to receptor down-regulation, it blocks nuclear, cytoplasmatic, and membrane-bound estrogen receptor. Therefore, it seems to inhibit the cross-talk between growth factor receptor signaling and estrogen receptor in a more effective manner.
Output:
no
