Can Glycyrrhizin (Licorice Root) Help Fight Prostate Cancer? (Part 1)
In this episode of PROSTATE CANCER: REAL TALK, hosts El and Shay welcome Dr. Natalie Reizine, a physician and researcher in Hematology and Oncology at UI Health and the University of Illinois Cancer Center.

El shares how he met Dr. Reizine in his role as a paid external advisory board member for UIC’s Cures Within Reach Focus Group, which is dedicated to engaging underserved patients through clinical research trials.
