We examine a lattice model of tumor growth where survival of tumor cells depends on the supplied nutrients. When such a supply is random, the extinction of tumors belongs to the directed percolation universality class. However, when the supply is correlated with distribution of tumor cells, which as we suggest might mimick the angiogenic growth, the extinction shows different, and most likely novel critical behaviour. Such a correlation affects also the morphology of the growing tumors and drastically raise tumor survival probability.
