Denied
The Board denied service connection for colon cancer and lymph gland disability as they were not caused by active service, including exposure to herbicides.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's disabilities are due to his active service, including exposure to herbicide and TERA, and entitlement to service connection is denied.
