The Board denied service connection for several conditions, including hypertension and breast cancer residuals. However, it remanded the claims for uterine leiomyomata (fibroids) and related issues.

The deciding factor: The Veteran did not provide sufficient evidence of an in-service injury or event related to the denied conditions.
