Rather, the Board's analysis below will focus specifically on what evidence is needed to substantiate the claim and what the evidence in the claims file shows, or fails to show, with respect to the claim. See Timberlake v. Gober, 14 Vet. App. 122, 128-30 (2000).

The Veteran's military personnel records show that he was stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina from August 1964 to January 1966. Private medical records indicate the Veteran was diagnosed with stage II renal cell carcinoma, a form of kidney cancer, in July 2009, and underwent a right radical nephrectomy in August 2009. An October 2016 VA examiner noted the Veteran has a malignant neoplasm, currently in remission, with no related treatment. The examiner also noted, however, that the Veteran currently reports renal dysfunction symptoms.[Cases of measles in Denmark are caused by reintroduction of virus from abroad].
Measles vaccination was implemented in the child vaccination programme in Denmark in 1987 and produced a rapid decline in the incidence. Few cases were recorded annually until 1999. The measles virus isolated in Denmark during 1997-1998 was compared by partial sequencing of the haemagglutinin-coding region with Danish strains from the prevaccination era collected in 1965-1983, as well as with representatives of globally circulating strains of today. The dissimilarity of the prevaccination era strains identified in Denmark in 1997-1998 along with the similarity of these five strains with globally circulating strains at present, substantiate the conclusion that there is no persistent circulation of the measles virus in Denmark.
