Abstract
This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs adjudication regulations concerning diseases claimed to be the result of exposure to ionizing radiation. This amendment is necessary to implement a decision by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs that lymphomas other than Hodgkin's disease and cancer of the rectum are ``radiogenic.'' The intended effect of this amendment is to add these conditions to the list of radiogenic diseases for service-connected compensation purposes.
