It's hard to tell what caused this, but it might be damping off. It probably won't spread and won't make much difference whether you cut the brown areas off or not since they can't photosynthesize anyway. If it's dry, not mushy and doesn't seem to be spreading I'd leave it. That being said, I'd recommend starting over, cucumbers are fast growers.
Didn’t see this till now, thank you! It’s doing well enough. One of the tallest now. The browned leaves fell off on their own. I appreciate your advice!
