Denied
The Board denied service connection for prostate cancer and coronary calcification, finding no evidence of a medical nexus between the conditions and toxic exposure or service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively establish a causal relationship between the Veteran's prostate cancer and coronary calcification and their respective toxic exposures or service, considering the current medical literature and the lack of in-service onset or chronicity.
