My Dad Is 73 And Had A X-ray Of His

My dad is 73 and had a X-ray of his hips and pelvis after hurting his back playing golf.
Dr said there was “hardening of the bones” tested prostate level was 5.2. She requested a nuclear bone scan. Does this mean he has cancer?
He is otherwise symptom free. He has had a bad back for 10 years. If secondary cancer to prostate would the PSA level not be higher?
