Denied
The Board denied service connection for prostate cancer as there was no evidence of in-service herbicide exposure and the condition did not manifest within one year of service or otherwise relate to service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claimed in-service exposures were not supported by the record, and his prostate cancer did not meet the criteria for presumptive service connection.
