Granted
The Board granted service connection for residuals of prostate cancer and ED, secondary to the service-connected residuals of prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: The private internist's opinion based on a review of scientific literature raised at least a reasonable doubt as to the issue of whether there is a nexus between the Veteran's prostate cancer and his in-service exposure to PCBs.
