The Board remands the matter to obtain private treatment records and a retrospective opinion regarding the manifestations of the Veteran's bladder cancer residuals.
The deciding factor: The Board erred by failing to discuss whether the findings from a June 2021 VA examination lent themselves to a finding that the Veteran's bladder cancer residuals were predominantly manifest by renal dysfunction, and an etiological opinion is required to determine if the Veteran suffered from bladder stones related to his bladder cancer.
