The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the detecting, treating, and empirically investigating the interaction between a subject's immune system and cancer stem cells. In particular, the present invention provides compositions and methods for using IL-22 cytokine signaling and/or downstream targets of IL-22 cytokine signaling (e.g., STAT3, DOT1L, SUZ12, EED) in the diagnosis, treatment, and empirical investigation of cancers characterized with cancer stem cells activated through IL-22 cytokine signaling.
