Granted
The Board granted service connection for nasopharyngeal cancer, finding that the Veteran's condition is related to his in-service exposure to herbicide agents.
The deciding factor: The private oncologist's opinion was found to be more probative than the VA examiner's opinions due to its thorough review of the record and discussion of relevant evidence.
