Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a prostate disability, including BPH and prostate cancer, as there is no current diagnosis of prostate cancer and the Veteran's BPH is not related to his service.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations and opinions concluded that the Veteran does not have a current diagnosis of prostate cancer and that his BPH is less likely than not related to his service, including exposure to herbicides, diesel fuel, or asbestos.
