Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for liver cancer and a kidney condition, but denied service connection for a prostate condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the conclusion that the Veteran's liver cancer was caused by toxic exposure during service, while his prostate condition was not. The kidney condition was linked to diabetes mellitus, which was in turn related to herbicide exposure.
