Ce Fonds a été établi en 1990 par la Fondation du cancer des Cèdres en hommage au Dr Edward J. Tabah.
Son objectif est d'accueillir au CUSM un expert de renommée mondiale dans le domaine de l'oncologie chirurgicale, et ce, sur une base annuelle. Les chirurgiens et les intervenants de la santé du CUSM sont ainsi mis au courant directement par les conférenciers invités des Cèdres de des derniers développements et progrès technologiques en oncologie chirurgicale.
