Denied
The Board denied service connection for papillary thyroid cancer as it is not etiologically related to the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not establish a relationship between the Veteran's thyroid cancer and his active-duty service, including any exposure to ionizing radiation.
