Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for invasive carcinoma of the right breast and pathologic atypical lobular hyperplasia and focal lymphoid infiltrate of the left breast due to a need for a VA examination.
The deciding factor: A VA examination is necessary to determine the etiology of the Veteran's claimed breast cancer disabilities, as no medical opinion on record exists to establish whether her cancer was caused by or incurred in service.
