Abstract: A hyperbolic tumor growth model with Robin free boundary is studied, which contains an elliptic partial differential equation describing the concentration of nutrients, an ordinary differential equation describing the radius of tumor and two hyperbolic equations describing the growth of tumor cells. In this paper, by applying the method of characteristic curves and the Banach fixed point theorem, the existence and uniqueness of the global solution of the model are proven. Finally, it is proven that while ${K_R} = 0$, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to \infty } R\left( t \right) = \infty$.

Key words: tumor growth, free boundary problem, global solution
