Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA examination opinion to determine if the Veteran's neuro endocrine carcinoma/islet cell carcinoma is related to his service, including his conceded exposure to asbestos.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA examination opinion was found inadequate due to contradictory statements and insufficient evidence linking the cancer to asbestos exposure.
