Denied
The Board denied service connection for colon cancer status post-surgery and gall stones, finding no evidence that these conditions were related to the Veteran's active military service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a finding that either condition began during service or was otherwise related to an in-service injury, event, or disease, including asbestos exposure.
