Denied
The Board denied service connection for prostate cancer, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and sleep apnea as these conditions were not etiologically related to the Veteran's service, including exposure to ionizing radiation and TCE.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's current disabilities manifested in-service or within one year of separation from service, nor was there a reasonable possibility that they resulted from his exposure to ionizing radiation during service.
