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. To address these limitations, we propose a token-centric dual-view learning framework that unifies prompt-based adaptation and cross-view fusion within a frozen vision transformer backbone. The framework reformulates inter-view interaction as structured tokenlevel communication, where dedicated fusion tokens explicitly encode bidirectional information exchange between CC and MLO views via cross-attention, serving as intermediate carriers of cross-view dependencies rather than relying on direct feature fusion. Unlike conventional methods that apply fusion at a single layer, fusion modules are inserted at multiple transformer depths, enabling progressive and repeated interaction across the encoder hierarchy. Fusion tokens are reintegrated into the token sequence and refined by subsequent transformer layers, facilitating hierarchical propagation of complementary information while preserving viewspecific structure. Experiments on VinDr-Mammo and CMMD datasets demonstrate consistent improvements over linear probing, prompt-only adaptation, and conventional fusion baselines. On the VinDr-Mammo BI-RADS classification task, the framework achieves 50.40% F1-score and 0.8090 AUC, including a 0.10 AUC improvement over a dual-view fusion baseline in the binary setting. Ablation studies further validate the effectiveness of token-based fusion and multi-  \ndepth interaction design.  \n1. Introduction  \nBreast cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, where early detection through mammography screening plays a critical role in improving survival rates. Despite its clinical importance, automatic interpretation of mammograms remains challenging due to low lesion contrast, complex tissue structures, and subtle inter-class variations. These challenges are further compounded by the need to integrate complementary information across multiple mammographic views. Importantly, clinical diagnosis is inherently multi-view, where radiologists jointly analyze craniocaudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) views to exploit complementary anatomical information. However, most existing deep learning approaches do not fully capture this diagnostic process, either relying on single-view analysis or adopting fusion strategies that provide limited cross-view reasoning.  \nEarly deep learning methods primarily focused on single-view mammogram classification using convolutional neural networks, achieving promising results but inherently discarding complementary cross-view information [25, 3, 7, 14] . To address this limitation, multi-view learning strategies have been introduced, typically based on early, intermediate, or late fusion of view-specific representations [12, 23, 17] . Early fusion enables information sharing at shallow representation levels, whereas late fusion preserves view-specific feature learning until high-level semantic representations are formed. Intermediate fusion offers a compromise by integrating information during feature extraction.
