Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for colon cancer and metastatic liver cancer due to an inadequate medical opinion regarding the Veteran's exposure to herbicide agents during his active service in Vietnam.
The deciding factor: The May 2025 VA examination was found inadequate, as it did not address whether the Veteran's colon cancer is directly related to his active military service on a direct basis. An addendum opinion is required.
