    High-dose-rate brachytherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer, requiring precise dose distribution.

  • 2

    Current methods for dose prediction in HDR brachytherapy face challenges due to complex needle geometries and patient anatomy.

  • 3

    A novel 3D transformer-based deep learning model was developed to enhance dose prediction accuracy in HDR interstitial brachytherapy.

  • 4

    The study analyzed 96 CT-based treatment plans from cervical cancer patients to evaluate the performance of the proposed model.

  • 5

    The transformer mechanism effectively captures global context, addressing limitations of traditional CNN models in dose prediction.
