Granted
The Board granted service connection for duodenum adenocarcinoma, finding that the evidence establishes that the Veteran's condition is the result of his exposure to herbicide agents, including Agent Orange.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in relative equipoise regarding the cause of the Veteran's duodenum adenocarcinoma, and after resolving all doubt in favor of the Veteran, service connection was granted.
