To be honest I have never heard of hip replacement being a treatment for soft tissue sarcoma and because its not a bone cancer I’m not sure it would help but I’m not 100-percent certain.
Because it’s spread to the hips means it’s gone into the surrounding tissue which I would imagine will be treated with chemotherapy or/and radiotherapy.
I hope things improve sending God’s blessings

Are you saying it is being suggested their hip should be replaced for the sarcoma? I think I would ask the surgeon for more information.
