Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain an addendum opinion on whether the Veteran's primary lung cancer, if present, was due to herbicide agent exposure and a contributory cause of death.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as no medical opinion has evaluated whether the Veteran's pleural effusion was indicative of primary lung cancer and attributable to herbicide agent exposure.
