Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of service connection for prostate cancer to obtain an addendum opinion addressing the Veteran's toxic exposure risk activities.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA examiner did not provide a reasoned medical explanation connecting the lack of evidence in medical literature and the conclusion that prostate cancer is less likely than not related to asbestos exposure, necessitating a remand for further clarification.
