Last reviewed for CCPS 18 July 2007.
Preliminary questions [38381]
7629 [1] there is some evidence that therapeutic radiation may be a factor in the development of the condition under consideration.
38382 [2] the veteran has undergone a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest at some time.
38383 [3] the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest, where the first exposure occurred at least five years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the oesophagus. the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest, where the first exposure occurred at least five years before the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the oesophagus, was undergone for an illness or injury which is identifiable. [5]
38385 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest and VEA service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the oesophagus.
38386 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest and operational service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the oesophagus.
or
38387 — the veteran has established the causal connection between the course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest and eligible service for the clinical onset of malignant neoplasm of the oesophagus.
Clinical onset and operational service [38386]
38388 — the identified illness or injury for which the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest is causally related to operational service. [6] [7]
Clinical onset and eligible service [38387]
38389 — the identified illness or injury for which the veteran underwent a course of therapeutic radiation to the region of the chest is causally related to eligible service. [8] [7]
