Leukemia cells spread widely throughout the bone marrow and other organs, so surgery cannot be used to cure this type of cancer. Surgery rarely has any role even in diagnosing chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), since a blood test or bone marrow aspirate and biopsy are usually all that is needed.
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. splenectomy is usually reserved for patients with enlarged spleen and it has no role in curing CML.
 
If leukemia spreads to the spleen, that organ can become large enough to compress nearby organs and cause symptoms. If chemotherapy or radiation does not help shrink the spleen, it may be removed with surgery. This operation, called a ''splenectomy'', is meant to improve the symptoms of an enlarged spleen it has no role in curing CML.Surgery for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia - American Cancer Society
