Thanks for that - although apparently it is still occasionally used as a last resort treatment for the pleura with lung cancer.

talc pleurodesis

Explanation:
The answer selected 14 years ago (!) refers to artificial adhesion of the pericardium for coronary heart disease. It's obsolete now.

Talc pleurodesis is currently used to relieve dyspnoea in pleural effusion due to malignancy, which fits this context because the asker mentions lung cancer.
