ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) bear high burden of cancers since the highprevalence of secondhand smoke. The objective of this study is to estimate the burden of cancer attributable to secondhandsmoking in ASEAN. Methods: This research was using descriptive epidemiological incidence and prevalence-basedresearch design, with cancers incidence and mortality data gained from GLOBOCAN 2012. Secondhand smokeattributable fractions (SAFs) of six cancers (lung, bladder, colorectal, stomach, pancreas and larynx) were estimatedand burden of cancers caused by secondhand smoking in ASEAN were calculated in term of incidence and mortality.Results: Secondhand smoking estimated for 453,562 cancer cases and 323,284 of total cancer mortality in 2012. Thenumber of incidence and death of lung cancer attributable to secondhand smoking show the highest number comparedwith other type of cancers. Furthermore, we found that the number of cancer cases and cancer deaths attributable tosecondhand smoking varied by each countries due to differences in size of population, various background risk of thecancer, and prevalence of secondhand smoking in each country. Conclusion: Secondhand smoking has been a risk factorfor about two-fifth of cancer incidence and mortality in ASEAN. Therefore, ASEAN member countries are stronglyencouraged to put in place stronger tobacco control policies and to strengthen the existing tobacco control measure inorder to decrease the number of secondhand smokers and more effectively control cancers. %U https://journal.waocp.org/article_85311_17632071baac0719efa25cbe29260c28.pdf
