Hello All,
I just seen my c&p exam results. I filed for a loss of organ claim secondary to TCE exposure, from working with TCE for 15 years. Had a nexus from wrii exposure VA doctor saying it was at least as likely as not being exposed to TCE for a prolonged period caused it. My two questions. Dr. David Anaise will do an IMO after I send him all that I have on it. Do you think two against one opinion would turn it in my favor and what form or how do you file for reconsideration instead of two year NOD wait? The examiner basically referred to this website below for his diagnosis for least likely statement. I did smoke pack a day and I am 6' 2" 230 pounds.
Thank you
please refer to scholarly article,
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3012455/
for details.
main risk factors for kidney cancer are cigarette smoking, obesity and
hypertension.
veteran has history of smoking cigarette, and also has obesity.
currently there is no evidence that exposures to chemicals including
trichlorethylene and other solvents cause or aggravate kidney cancer.
the author concluded tghat " casual conclusions are not yet
supported "
and that " Genetic susceptibility and its interaction with
environmental
exposures are believed to influence renal cell cancer risk, but limited
studies based on candidate gene approaches have not produced conclusive
results."
therefore, to answer question asked, veteran's kidney cancer is
LESS
likely related to military service; as there is no definitive evidence
that exposures during service caused or aggravated the kidney cancer.
