Tumors are characterized by extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, remodeling, and cross-linking that drive fibrosis to stiffen the stroma and promote malignancy. The stiffened stroma enhances tumor cell growth, survival and migration and drives a mesenchymal transition. A stiff ECM also induces angiogenesis, hypoxia and compromises anti-tumor immunity. Not surprisingly, tumor aggression and poor patient prognosis correlate with degree of tissue fibrosis and level of stromal stiffness. In this review, we discuss the reciprocal
