Granted
The Board granted service connection for high grade urothelial cell carcinoma, a bladder cancer, based on the Veteran's presumed exposure to herbicides during his service in Vietnam.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance as to whether the urothelial cell carcinoma originated in the bladder, and resolving all doubt in favor of the appellant, the Board found that it should be granted.
