Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for renal cell carcinoma and malignant neoplasm of the lung, secondary to renal cell carcinoma, due to inadequate medical opinions regarding their etiology.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain an adequate opinion addressing the Veteran's claim for entitlement to service connection for renal cell carcinoma, as the December 2023 VA examination and medical opinion are deemed inadequate.
