    Summary: We discuss the sharp interface limit of a diffuse interface model for a coupled Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy system that models tumor growth when a certain parameter \(\varepsilon>0\), related to the interface thickness, tends to zero. In particular, we prove that weak solutions to the related initial boundary value problem tend to varifold solutions of a corresponding sharp interface model when \(\varepsilon\) goes to zero.
