Accurate breast cancer classification from mammography requires effective integration of complementary information from craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views, which provide a more complete characterization of breast abnormalities. However, existing multi-view learning approaches typically rely on feature-level aggregation or single-stage cross-attention, which can entangle view-specific and shared representations and restrict interaction to limited network depths.
Multimodal fusion learning (MFL) has shown great potential in the medical domain, where we are faced with disparate data modalities such as imaging, clinical records, and omics. However, existing MFL strategies face several major challenges.

Integrating 3D medical images with vision-language models (VLMs) holds substantial promise for computer-aided diagnosis. However, volumetric images generate prohibitively long visual-token sequences with considerable spatial and inter-slice redundancy.
