LETT-NeXt: A Lightweight RECIST-Guided Model for 3D CT Lesion Segmentation

RECIST diameter measurements are widely used for tumor response assessment, but they provide only a limited 2D description of lesion extent. We present LETT-NeXt, a lightweight RECIST-guided model that predicts 3D lesion masks from CT volumes and RECIST markers for the CVPR 2026 Foundation Models for Pan-cancer Segmentation in CT Images competition. LETT-NeXt extracts a RECIST-centered regional crop, encodes the RECIST line and endpoints as two prompt channels, and concatenates them with the CT input. A compact MedNeXt-v2 encoder--decoder predicts the lesion mask, followed by prompt-aware comp
