The Board denied service connection for a benign frontotemporal brain tumor and prostate cancer, finding that the evidence did not support a causal relationship between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.

The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not persuasively weigh in favor of a finding that the Veteran's benign brain tumor or prostate cancer began during active service or was otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease, including ionizing radiation exposure and/or toxic exposure risk activities (TERAs).
