No, they should not be removed. The canes, though leafless, still store water and nutrients. When the plant is finished with them they will shrivel up and die off, then they can be removed.
You don't say what kind of dendrobium you have, but many types of dendrobium flower off of leafless canes. So removing them cold also reduce your flower count.
