This is the end of many inflammatory diseases (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tis

This clue is a double definition.

'this is' is the first definition.
('tis' can be a contraction of 'this is')

'the end of many inflammatory diseases' is the second definition.
(suffix in laryngitis, appendicitis etc)

(Other definitions for tis that I've seen before include "That thing's" , "It is shortened" , "I confirm the identity of" , "Sequel to "Angela's Ashes"" , "For poet, that's" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
