Disruptors that were found to have opposing actions in a particular hallmark (i.e. anticarcinogenic) were denoted using ‘−’, while targets that were found to have promoting actions in a particular hallmark (i.e. pro-carcinogenic) were denoted using ‘+’. In instances where reports on relevant actions in other hallmarks were mixed (i.e. reports showing both pro-carcinogenic potential and anticarcinogenic potential), the symbols ‘+/−’ were used. Finally, in instances where no literature support was found to document the relevance of a target in a particular aspect of cancer’s biology, were denoted using ‘0’.
