Magdalena Esteva Cantó

Emeritus Researcher IdISBa

Since 1990, I have worked as a health technician adjunct to the management teams of the Primary Care Management of Mallorca. Connected to the family and community medicine teaching unit and the research unit, I have participated in promoting research among residents, tutors, and other medical and nursing professionals on various topics, mainly mental health and respiratory diseases. My personal research focus is on early cancer diagnosis, both through screening and early clinical diagnosis, and the study of quality of life and service use among cancer survivors. I have participated in the design and implementation of the Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program in the Balearic Islands. I have been a member of the IAPP network (RETICS) since its creation in the GRASPP group of the Balearic Islands and the consolidated group of the Health Research Institute of the Balearic Islands. I have also served as a member of the CEI of the Balearic Islands and president of the Primary Care Research Commission of Mallorca-
