Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for kidney cancer and prostate cancer, as there was no evidence of exposure to ionizing radiation during active service.
The deciding factor: The key finding was that the Veteran was not exposed to ionizing radiation during his service, which is a necessary element for establishing service connection under 38 C.F.R. § 3.311.
