Brief Answer:
Not convinced about hyperparathyroidism

Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern.

First of all, I am seriously not very convinced aboout hyperparathyroidism. PTH should have been much higher in that case. Is the PTH in pg/ml ?
Could you please attach all the results including the scan?? That would be extremely helpful to assess further.
Regards
Binu

Well, hyperparathyroidism does not lead to any cancer. But it can lead to kidney stones and fractures. Kidney stones can not enter prostate.
