Denied
The Board denied service connection for colon cancer as the evidence did not support a link between the Veteran's current condition and their in-service toxic exposure risk activity.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner concluded it was less likely than not that the Veteran's colon cancer was caused by their toxic exposure risk activity, due to lack of conclusive studies linking Agent Orange exposure to colon cancer.
