Denied
The Board denied service connection for colon cancer, finding no evidence of a causal relationship between the disease and the Veteran's military service, including exposure to herbicides.
The deciding factor: The opinions from various clinicians did not provide sufficient evidence to establish a direct causation between the Veteran's colon cancer and his in-service herbicide exposure.
