Not even your vet can answer this one, but tumors of the spleen are operable. It depends how long your dog has had the cancer and if it has spread from the spleen to other parts of the body. There has been good news and a little bad from my research. Although surgery is expensive if you can please give your dog the break it deserves. Your vet will do tests on your dog and then discuss those tests with you and give a diagnosis. Often if it's operable the dog may live many more years.

∙ 13y agoIf it only has it a tiny bit, it will have about a 50-50% chance of living. If it has it severely, then it only has about a 10-10% chance of living. And if it is just getting started, then it'll have a 90% chance of living, and if it's just ending, then it has a 99% chance of living.

Can tumors be treated in poodles?
Depending upon the tumor, maybe. Poodles can get a wide variety of tumors ranging from osteosarcoma (bone tumors) to mast cell tumors to lypomas (fat cell tumors). Some tumors are benign and easy to treat - the veterinarian simply removes the tumor in toto and the poodle will be fine. Other tumors are malignant and difficult to treat - some spread very rapidly (often before the primary tumor is even found), some grow in difficult to reach places (such as in the skull or around the blood vessels) and some simply grow so fast they cause death before they are even found.
