Answer:
Dominick's ethnicity makes him and the men in his family more likely to develop prostate cancer.
Although you have not added the graph necessary to answer this question, we can conclude that, due to advances in medicine, prostate cancer mortality rates decreased between 1994 and 2012.
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can see in the question above, Dominik is an African American man. African American men are more likely to develop prostate cancer than white or other ethnic men. This means that both Dominik and the men in his family have a great chance of developing this type of cancer. Statistically, it is estimated that African American men are 1.8 times more likely to develop prostate cancer and 2.2 times more likely to die from this cancer than men of other ethnicities.
You did not add the graph to answer the second question, however, we know that there was a great advance in medicine between 1994 and 2012, allowing greater knowledge of cancer and better techniques of treatment and diagnosis, which allows death rates to decrease during the passing of those years.
