Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for retroperitoneal carcinoma, finding no current diagnosis of the condition and insufficient evidence linking it to herbicide exposure during service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis or link between the claimed in-service exposure and the absence of any current disability.
