The objective of this research was to understand the evolution of cancers in the stomach, liver and pancreas and correlate these pathologies with the urbanization process, especially with economic growth, through the rise of the so-called agribusiness from the 1970s , As well as the progress of leprosy and malaria on the three biomes of Mato Grosso. An introductory discussion was made on the production process of the territory of Mato Grosso from the 70s and 80s and its relation with the discourse of modernity. We collected the data on diseases from the DATASUS institute between 1995/2015 by place of residence, which were crossed with the economic data collected from the IBGE, IBAMA, IMEA, INDEA, BACEN, CONAB, among others. From a qualitative / quantitative approach, we discuss and relate such data. The results showed a correlation between the expansion of urbanization, mainly economic growth, an increase in planted area and an increase in the use of pesticides in agribusiness-related municipalities, as well as a greater tendency of exposure of certain strata of the population to conditions of Risks, thus inciting the increase of cancers in the stomach, liver and pancreas. It was also observed the advancement of these carcinogenic diseases in the Mato Grosso biomes in municipalities linked to agribusiness, demystifying the idea of a specific area with geographical, physical and natural conditions for planting, but rather of areas of interest of agroindustrial capital. Regarding leprosy and malaria, we found that the geographic, physical and natural characteristics of the biomes offer a slight preponderance to the manifestation of these diseases, however, with the urbanization process and, with a substantial economic growth of some municipalities, these diseases are almost restricted to the Spaces '' not used '' by agroindustrial capital. We conclude with the conviction that there is in fact a correlation between the main model that sustains the economic growth of the State of Mato Grosso, its urbanization process and the significant increase of some cancerous diseases, as well as the preponderance of the geographic, physical and natural characteristics of the Biomes on leprosy and malaria for the municipalities selected from the Mato Grosso, in the survey when they are not part of the agroindustrial capital.
