The Board has determined that the veteran's ovarian cancer, which was first diagnosed in February 1999, had its onset during her active duty service. Therefore, the claim for service connection is granted.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence supports a finding that the ovarian tumor was present during service and not post-service.
