Answer to Question 1

 Docetaxel is a chemotherapeutic that is used for breast, ovarian, and non-small cell lung cancer. It inhibits replicating cells during mitosis by stabilizing microtubules and preventing their de-polymerization.
 Doxorubicin is an antibiotic and antineoplastic agent that damages DNA through strand breakage and intercalation between DNA base pairs.
 Cyclophosphamide is antineoplastic drug through DNA alkylation/cross-linking of guanine bases. This inhibits the cell's ability to replicate and divide.

Answer to Question 2

 Vitamin E supplementation has demonstrated positive treatment benefits in the short term (though, longer studies are needed)
