Brief summary: This randomized phase II trial studies how well low-dose ibuprofen in improving cognitive impairment in patients with cancer. Anti-inflammatory agents, such as ibuprofen, may slow the decline of cognitive processes and diseases involving the brain.

Detailed description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To provide preliminary data on the effect of ibuprofen on alleviating chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy or who have received chemotherapy within the last 6 months compared to a placebo control, as assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function (FACT-Cog).

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized into 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients receive ibuprofen orally (PO) twice daily (BID) for 6 weeks.

ARM II: Patients receive placebo PO BID for 6 weeks.

After completion of study, patients are followed up periodically.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Have a diagnosis of cancer and have had surgery and are now receiving adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy or who have received chemotherapy within the last 6 months; chemotherapy with concurrent radiation therapy (RT) is allowed
* Answer YES to the question: "Have you noticed any problems in your memory, attention, concentration, multi-tasking or other cognitive functions?" any time after initiation of chemotherapy cycle 1

  * NOTE: If a participant answers NO, they may be re-approached at a subsequent cycle
* Be able to swallow medication
* Be able to read English
* Have the ability to understand and to give written informed consent as assessed by the participant's primary care physician or medical oncologist

Exclusion Criteria:

* Have a confirmed brain tumor or brain metastases
* Be taking a regular daily dose of an NSAID NOTE: Daily doses of 81 mg aspirin are permitted and higher doses of an NSAID on an 'as needed' basis are permitted
* Be diagnosed with dementia or severe neurodegenerative disease
* Have a contraindication to NSAIDs at the oncologist's discretion (i.e., allergy, worsening of ongoing medical problem due to NSAID, very low platelet count from chemotherapy, full-dose anti-coagulation/high risk of bleeding, and uncontrolled conditions such as hypertension, asthma, or peptic ulcer disease)
* Have been hospitalized for treatment of a major psychiatric illness within the last five years
* Have a serum creatinine above 1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN) (collected within the past 4 weeks); ULN is per institutional definition
* Concurrent administration of warfarin, full dose aspirin, clopidogrel, apixaban or other medications known to increase the risk of bleeding or to interfere with antiplatelet activities
* Be colorblind
* Have active substance abuse (e.g. alcohol, drugs) per self-report or medical record
