Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for prostate cancer and residuals, finding that there was no evidence to support a causal relationship between his in-service prostatitis and his later diagnosis of prostate cancer.
The deciding factor: The October 2022 VA examiner opined that there is no causal relationship between the Veteran's in-service prostatitis and his prostate cancer, and the Board found this opinion more probative than the July 2007 private hospital discharge summary statement regarding the etiology of the Veteran's prostate cancer.
