Abstract
The paper concerns a moving boundary problem for a coupled system of an elliptic and a parabolic boundary value problem. This system is applied to a model describing the growth of a homogeneous solid tumor in which the cell proliferation rate depends on the nutrient concentration only. For a large class of initial data the existence of a unique classical solution is shown.
