Of concern is a free boundary problem modeling the growth of multi-layer tumors. The new feature of this problem lies in that nutrient concentration at the tumor boundary is given by the Gibbs-Thomson Relation, where surface tension effect of the free boundary is included. We investigate well-posedness, stability and bifurcation analysis of this free boundary problem and give the interesting biological implication.
