The disease on your cherry tomato is pith necrosis caused by Pseudomonas corrugata (a bacterial disease). It is quite common in green house tomato.
Symptoms:
Symptom first appears when the first fruit is close to maturity. Leaves become chlorotic and wilting. You can see many adventitious roots on main stem. The central part of stem become brown and necrotic. In advance stage the stem become hollow. Fruits will have brown tissue.
