Leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and multiple myeloma prevailed. There was statistical significance between the variables tobacco cultivation and health region with the existence of the disease and when comparing the initial age in agriculture and the daily working hours with the use of different types of pesticides, pointing to a possible relationship between these variables with the presence of hematological neoplasms.
