Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for prostate cancer, finding that there was no evidence of a prostate condition during service and that the first indication of a prostate condition occurred many years after service separation.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's prostate cancer was less likely than not incurred in or caused by the claimed in-service injury, event, or illness. The Deputy Chief also concluded that it was unlikely that the Veteran's prostate cancer was related to in-service exposure to ionizing radiation.
