In this paper we investigate regularity of solutions to a free boundary problem modeling tumor growth in fluid-like tissues. The model equations include a quasi-stationary diffusion equation for the nutrient concentration, and a Stokes equation with a source representing the proliferation density of the tumor cells, subject to a boundary condition with stress tensor effected by surface tension. This problem is a fully nonlinear problem involving nonlocal terms. Based on the employment of the functional analytic method and the theory of maximal regularity, we prove that the free boundary of this problem is real analytic in temporal and spatial variables for initial data of less regularity.
