Denied
The Board denied service connection for skin cancer, finding that the Veteran's skin cancer is not etiologically related to his service.
The deciding factor: The medical opinion found that the Veteran's skin cancer was less likely than not related to in-service herbicide exposure and sun exposure, with no evidence linking a 1969 skin rash to later development of basal cell carcinoma.
