Qualitative data was obtained from semi-structured interviews undertaken with key informants, including working group members and end-users (referring and attending clinicians) . Data was analysed abductively and reported, guided by Proctor’s implementation outcomes framework.  \nMain outcome measures Key themes pertaining to implementation outcomes based on qualitative analysis. Results Thirteen key informants were interviewed. Three key concepts were developed: (1) value for the clinician workforce: acceptability and adoption,(2) optimising patient care: appropriateness and feasibility, and (3)  \nconsiderations for sustainability and scalability.  \nConclusions The PEN-TEST MDM model is a promising approach for reviewing patient cases with penile or testicular cancer. Findings support the importance of ongoing stakeholder engagement to shape the next iteration, and further investment to refine, sustain, and scale the model. Subject to this, scoping opportunities for scaling to other less common or rare cancers is warranted. The MDM model established has potential to be transformative in addressing inequitable access to specialist cancer care.  \nKeywords Penile neoplasms, Testicular neoplasms, Delivery of health care, Program evaluation, Rare and less common cancer, Australia  \n*Correspondence:  \nHannah Beks  \n[hannah.beks@deakin.edu.au](hannah.beks@deakin.edu.au)  \n1Institute for Health Transformation, Centre for Quality and Patient Safety Research, Deakin University, Warrnambool, VIC, Australia  \n2Deakin Rural Health, School of Medicine, Deakin University, Warrnambool, VIC, Australia  \n3Barwon Health, Geelong, VIC, Australia  \n4Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre Alliance, Parkville, VIC, Australia 5School of Medicine, Deakin University, Waurn Ponds, VIC, Australia  \n6Border Medical Oncology Research Unit, Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre, Albury, NSW, Australia  \n7University of NSW School of Clinical Medicine, Rural Clinical Campus, Albury, NSW, Australia  \n8Department of Medical Oncology, Grampians Health, Ballarat, VIC, Australia  \n9Faculty of Health, Deakin University, Burwood, VIC, Australia  \n10Institute for Health Transformation, Centre for Quality and Patient Safety Research, Deakin University, Geelong, VIC, Australia  \n© The Author(s) 2025.
