Mary Louise Keohan, MD
Sarcoma Oncologist
My Role at MSKWe post reviews for MSK healthcare providers who have at least 30 patient experience surveys completed. If you do not see reviews for a provider, it may be because they do not yet have enough survey responses, or the provider may not be part of the group of healthcare providers included in the survey.
Only outpatient providers are included in the survey. Healthcare providers who only work in the hospital or in urgent care are not included in the survey. Pathologists or researchers who do not provide direct care to patients do not have reviews.

About Me
- Associate Attending Physician
I am a medical oncologist who cares for adults with a very rare cancer known as soft tissue sarcoma. These tumors are notoriously difficult to treat because they begin in the connective tissues — such as fat, muscles, nerves, tendons, and blood and lymph vessels — that surround and support other parts of the body.

My fellow medical oncologists and I work alongside a broader disease management team that includes pathologists, surgeons, and radiation oncologists. Together, we create an individualized treatment plan for each patient, based on the need to preserve limb and organ function as best we can. Chemotherapy is often used as part of treatment, either before surgery to shrink a larger tumor or after surgery to kill any remaining cells that remain in the body. As a leader in the treatment of these complicated diseases, we also seek ways to refine and enhance therapy alternatives through various clinical research trials.
I am grateful to receive research funding from a number of sarcoma-related philanthropic organizations, including the Liddy Shriver Ewing’s Sarcoma Fund, the Alan Rosenthal Research Fund in Hemangiopericytoma, and the Dorcas Casey Fund for Sarcoma. From this research, I have published more than 60 journal articles, reviews, and abstracts.
Outside of Memorial Sloan Kettering, I am active in a number of our specialty’s key medical groups, including the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the Connective Tissue Sarcoma Society, and the Sarcoma Alliance for Research Through Collaboration.
A sarcoma oncologist is a cancer doctor with special training in sarcoma. This includes soft tissue sarcomas (such as Ewing sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma) and benign (not cancer) growths that are like sarcoma.

Disclosures
Doctors and faculty members often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community.
MSK requires doctors and faculty members to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public.
