Is this genetics?

Is this genetics?

My question is this: can one be genetically predisposed to adenocarcinoma or not.  I have had barrett's for many years.  My mother, aunt, grandmother, and two first cousins all died of adenocarcinoma of the esophogus or stomach.  My surgeon says no, one gastroenterologists says yes, the other says no.  My family doc things that maybe it is menII because of tumors I have on other glands.  What is the answer?  Is it genetic or not?
