Preliminary questions [12227]
there is some evidence that a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the pelvis or perineum may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.39402 the veteran has transitional cell carcinoma of the urethra.
the veteran has undergone a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the pelvis or perineum at some time. the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the pelvis or perineum where the first exposure occurred at least five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration. the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the pelvis or perineum where the first exposure occurred at least five years before the clinical onset of the condition under consideration for treatment of an illness or injury which is identifiable.39407 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the pelvis or perineum and operational service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the urethra.
