Denied
The Board denied service connection for the veteran's kidney cancer and nephrolithiasis (kidney stones), finding no evidence linking these conditions to his military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners provided highly probative medical opinions against the Veteran's claims, stating that there was a lack of substantiating evidence supporting a nexus between the current diagnosis and the Veteran's service.
