Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for prostate cancer as secondary to a now-service-connected anorectal/perianal region condition, but remanded the claim for BPH due to an inadequate VA opinion.
The deciding factor: Prostate cancer was granted based on a causal relationship with a service-connected disability; BPH requires further evidence due to an inadequate prior examination.
