Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for prostate cancer, status-post radical prostatectomy, as the evidence did not support a finding that the condition was related to an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The June 2023 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's prostate cancer and radical prostatectomy were less likely than not related to his in-service toxic exposure risk activities. The Board also found no evidence of a relationship between the condition and chlamydia, for which there was no service connection.
