The Veteran's claim for service connection for a breast lump was denied due to lack of evidence showing the condition was incurred in or aggravated by military service.,Service connection for breast cancer with residuals, including as secondary to breast lump, was also denied because there is no evidence that it began during active service or is related to an in-service injury.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's left breast lump noted in service resolved and there is no evidence of a current condition in the left breast. The right breast cancer diagnosed later did not originate from the left breast lump found in service.,There is no evidence that the Veteran’s current breast cancer with residuals began during active service or is related to an in-service injury, event, or disease.
