Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for rectum cancer and remanded the claim for entitlement to service connection for hypothyroidism.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's rectum cancer was related to her service, while further examination is needed to determine if her hypothyroidism is related to in-service toxic exposures.
