Default During a prostate examination does the lab work(bood tests) Show whether a

person has prostate Cancer or not? And also, will these tests reveal any other types of cancer that may be in a person's system?

the lab test detects the level of specific prostate antigens in your blood. a higher level-over 3- indicates there may be a problem.and no, it is not for any other kind of cancer.

to my understanding, a prostate exam is done specifically to find out if you have prostate cancer (or anything else wrong with the prostate)

just a prostate exam wont show if you have cancer anywhere else in the body though.

Kindof.... the blood test for prostate cancer measures the level of "psa", prostate specific antigen. If it's very high or increasing, that's an indication that prostate cancer is present. This test does not detect other cancers. The "good" news about prostate cancer is that it's very slow growing. In older men, it's often not even treated.

Specifically, the blood test done for prostate exam does not tell absolutely that there is cancer.
The PSA quotient reading simply gives a clue to Urologist to look further. Especially if there is a sharp increase in the PSA reading from last time or if the present test abnormally high. Even the digital exam of the prostate will not be conclusive, but biopsys are the best method and will be ordered should PSA and physical exam indicate a need for them.
