In this paper we study a delayed free boundary problem for the growth of tumors. The establishment of the model is based on the diffusion of nutrient and mass conservation for the two process proliferation and apoptosis(cell death due to aging). It is assumed the process of proliferation is delayed compared to apoptosis. By $L^p$ theory of parabolic equations and the Banach fixed point theorem, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a local solutions and apply the continuation method to get the existence and uniqueness of a global solution. We also study the asymptotic behavior of the solution, and prove that in the case $c$ is sufficiently small, the volume of the tumor cannot expand unlimitedly. It will either disappear or evolve to a dormant state as $t\rightarrow\infty.$
