a FDA-approved drugs as potential candidates for ECs that inhibit crosstalk between tumor cells and the TME; these candidates include tumor vasculature, ECM, and inflammatory factors. b Combining an IC and EC to enhance therapeutic responsiveness by blocking signaling crosstalk that converges to a cancer pathway. c Combining an IC and EC to overcome negative feedback in the MAPK signaling pathway. d Targeting tumor checkpoint modules. The epigenetic modulator DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is downstream of multiple cancer-relevant pathways and promotes tumorigenesis. Targeting DNMT1 restores the normal activity downstream of multiple cancer-associated signaling pathways.
