Denied
The Board denied service connection for prostate cancer with metastasis to the bone, finding that it was not related to any disease, injury, or event during service, including exposure to ionizing radiation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's prostate cancer did not meet the criteria for direct service connection and was unlikely to be caused by his in-service exposure to ionizing radiation.
