Answer to Question 1

 Radiation therapy (RT) uses ionizing radiation to damage DNA and cause cell death. Due to the rapid proliferation of cancerous tissue and RT's use of oxygen to augment the damage due to radiation, RT affects these cells to a greater degree.
 RT is typically used in breast cancer to accompany the surgical resection of cancerous tissue to kill any remaining cancer cells that were not removed.

Answer to Question 2

 Current research and epidemiological studies suggest the daily consumption of 3 or more cups of coffee to reduce the risk of fatty liver disease development and progression to fibrosis.
