While chemotherapies successfully treat cancers and extend patients' lives, they are known not to work for everyone for long, as cancer cells rewire the process by which they convert fuel into energy (metabolism) to outmaneuver the drugs' effects. Many of these drugs are so-called antimetabolics, disrupting cell processes needed
