It's possible that molecular diagnosis methods will eventually replace histopathology, but it's not likely to happen anytime soon. Histopathology is a very important and well-established diagnostic tool, and there are many cases where it is the only way to definitively diagnose a condition.
Molecular diagnosis methods have a lot of potentials, and they are already being used in some cases to diagnose diseases or conditions that cannot be diagnosed with histopathology. However, they are still relatively new and expensive, and scientists are still learning about their limitations. It will probably take many years for them to become as widely used as histopathology.
