Stroma usually refers to the connective tissue that supports an organ. Inflammation is the body's responce to injury or irritation. Inflammation is characterized with redness, increased temperature, and pain.

So stromal inflammation means that the tissue that supports a particular organ was showing some signs of inflammation.

How do stromal fibroblasts drive tumor development?

Stromal Fibroblasts produce the connective tissue that surrounds tumor cells. As cancer grows it demands more nutrients so more and more of these stromal cells sacrifice themselves to provide recycled nutrients to tumor cells. Without recycled nutrients provided by fibroblasts, tumor cells are more fragile and die. Researchers propose that available drugs (now on the market), which sever the "parasitic" connection between tumor cells and fibroblasts, may be effective therapeutics.
