Abstract
-cross Abstract: Accurate delineation of tumors and surrounding organs-at-risk is essential for radiotherapy, surgery and treatment response assessment, yet remains time-consuming and expertise-intensive. Existing artificial intelligence systems often require manual spatial prompts or task-specific retraining, while generic class labels provide limited semantic grounding for heterogeneous disease targets. Here we present SyRe, a promptable segmentation foundation model based on Synergistic vision-language Reinforcement. SyRe strengthens bidirectional interaction between visual and linguistic representations to improve semantically grounded spatial understanding. To support large-scale training, we introduce the Color Region Description strategy and construct SyReData, comprising 20 million image-mask-description triplets across 9 modalities and 229 segmentation tasks. Training with diversified prompt forms further enables open-ended prompting, invalid-prompt rejection and flexible switching between single- and multi-target analysis. SyRe achieves accurate text-prompted segmentation across diverse clinical scenarios, with particularly strong performance on disease-related targets. Across 28 unseen external datasets, including 20 cancer types and multinational in-house cohorts, SyRe generalizes robustly under real-world distribution shifts. SyRe-generated masks also preserve clinically relevant quantitative information in pathology and yield radiomics features that stratify survival and improve prognostic modeling across five retrospective CT and MRI tumor cohorts. Finally, clinician-in-the-loop refinement enables efficient case-level correction when greater precision is required. These results establish SyRe as a generalizable foundation for scalable quantitative oncology and clinician-guided segmentation refinement.
