Denied
The Board denied service connection for the Veteran's cause of death, specifically metastatic adenocarcinoma from the GEJ and anemia, as these conditions were not shown to be related to his service, including his in-service herbicide exposure.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a link between the Veteran's service, including his in-service herbicide exposure, and his metastatic adenocarcinoma of the GEJ or anemia.
