Denied
The Board denied service connection for lung cancer, finding no evidence that the Veteran's lung cancer was related to his in-service exposure to depleted uranium or any other in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a causal relationship between the Veteran's lung cancer and his in-service exposure to depleted uranium, as the primary risk factor for lung cancer is cigarette smoking.
