or disease?

    (a) Evidence that the employee contracted a specified cancer (in the 
case of SEC members) or other cancer should include a written medical 
document that contains an explicit statement of diagnosis and the date

a covered cancer, nor the belief of the claimant that the injury, 
illness, impairment or disability was caused by the covered cancer is 
sufficient in itself to prove a causal relationship.
